Appendix A Specifying properties
186
A-2-3 server.https.port
This property assigns the port used for the Device Manager secure HTTP web server. The
conventional port number for a secure web server is 443, but there might already be a secure
intranet server running on this port. As noted above, it is better practice to utilize a port number
between 1024 and 49151 for a specialized (middleware) HTTP server. Make sure that it has a
different value than the port designated for the HTTP listener.
Default: 2443
A-2-4 server.http.default
If the Device Manager web server receives an HTTP request in which only a directory name is
specified but not a file name, the server searches within the directory for the file name specified in
this property. Under normal conditions, you do not need to change the default value of this property.
Default: index.html
A-2-5 server.http.request.timeout
This property sets the read-blocking timeout of the HTTP socket connection (in milliseconds). It can
be used to enable or disable the SO_TIMEOUT setting for client-connection sockets. Reading from
the input stream associated with a socket will block for only this amount of time before the socket
expires. Its default value is 5000 (5 seconds). A value of 0 is interpreted as an infinite timeout,
meaning that SO_TIMEOUT is disabled for client connections. You should only modify this property
if you are an expert system administrator seeking to fine-tune the server's performance.
Default: 5000 (5 seconds)
A-2-6 server.http.connection.priority
This property sets the priority for all client-connection threads spawned by HTTP requests made
against the Device Manager server. Valid values are from 1 to 10 (1 = minimum priority; 5 = normal
priority; 10 = maximum priority). You should only modify this property if you are an expert system
administrator seeking to fine-tune the server's performance. Recommended values are from 5 to 8.
NOTE: If the connection thread priority is set to 10 (maximum), any simultaneous request
connections are queued for sequential processing, which defeats the purpose of a multi-threaded
server. This setting would actually adversely affect server performance, particularly when you are
loading complex HTML pages (for example, those containing many images).
Default: 7
A-2-7 server.http.connection.bufSize
This property sets the size in bytes for all of the server's input/output (I/O) buffers. Increased buffer
size might improve request/response network performance for high-volume connections, while
decreasing it can help reduce the backlog of incoming data. Do not set the default value smaller
than 1024 bytes, or it can cause failure. You should only modify this property if you are an expert
system administrator seeking to fine-tune the server's performance.
Default: 8192 bytes
A-2-8 server.http.socket.backlog
This property assigns the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to
connect), such as setting the SO_MAX_CONN attribute of the server socket. If a connection
indication arrives when the queue is already full, the Device Manager server will refuse the new
