Diffusion web server
Diffusion™ incorporates its own web server. This web server is required to enable a number of Diffusion capabilities, but we recommend that you do not use it to host your production web applications.
Any
Diffusion
connector can be configured to act as a web
server and provide the following capabilities:
- Providing an endpoint for the HTTP-based transports used by Diffusion clients
- Hosting the Diffusion server landing page
- Hosting the Diffusion demos
- Hosting the Diffusion management console
- Enabling REST service to expose supported REST APIs
- Optionally, hosting a static page you can use the check the status of the Diffusion server
