Hello Ericj, thanks a lot. Now i found the checkbox to enable the “internal web server”. It runs fine. Thanks Joe |

Open the Configuration Dialog using the menu entry Windows / Configuration. server.enabled = true Do not forget to click on the Save button. You can use your Web Browser to go to the following URL for the Web Interface of the internal webserver: http://localhost:9099/JBidwatcher You can log in with your ebay username and password to the Internal Web Server. Just for those curious enough, you could read up some more details on the old configuration options page about these settings.

I’ve never been particularly enamored of logging into my @home workstation in the clear from out in the world. It would be a lot of work for Morgan (or any of us) to implement SSL/TLS in the built in web server, but he/we don’t have to. Stunnel is a tool to put any TCP connection in an SSL tunnel, and is available in Windows, OS X, Linux, and other flavors. |

What would be nice and even fairly simple to implement would be a facility to place template html files on the server that would be visible via the url. Then any one could write a javascript json enabled web page with styling that could parse the rather bare default and add gubbins such as sorting etc. Even nicer would be to have the current generated page available as xml (less parsing issues). The people could either develop javascript/jquery pages or even applets, flash thingys or web start applications. |

As far as security goes, I only use the web interface via an ssh tunnel to my NATed home server, this is very simple under linux/mac osx and using cygwin pretty simple under windows. From a public wi-fi you have to be sure that this tunnelled port on the client is not visible to the rest of the cafe, but that is what firewalls are for.. |

Greetings, as far as I realized the Webinterface does not work properly. When I change the link to localhost:9099/activateSnipe?id=331340548181&snipeamount=88.00, please note the part “&action=snipe” is missing my browser redircts me correctly and I can see the “Return to auction List” Link". Why is that happening on the Version of Jbidwatcher 2.5.6-11? Any Ideas? Something else: Thanks a lot!!! |
