About HTTP

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used by the World Wide Web.

You can make the storage system an HTTP server by adding HTTP service to it. After you start the HTTP service, clients can display text files under the root directory by using a Web browser.

You can use the storage system as an HTTP server only if you purchased the license for HTTP. Without the license, you can use an HTTP client only to display the storage system man pages and to use FilerView.
