Control of web-server access

[ashh87]

When trying to allow http server access from remote machines, FAHControl writes the following to config.xml:

<!-- HTTP Server -->
<allow v='0.0.0.0/0'/>
<deny v=''/>

This doesn't allow remote access to the http server. Searching the strings of FAHClient, I found 'web-allow'. Changing to the following got web access working for me:

<!-- HTTP Server -->
<allow v='0.0.0.0/0'/>
<web-allow v='0.0.0.0/0'/>
<deny v=''/>

There is probably a deny equivalent and this let me in with no password. Should FAHControl be updated to use 'web-allow' instead of/along with 'allow'?

Since using FAHControl has sabed my config again, I now get this:

<!-- Web Server -->
<web-allow v='0.0.0.0/0'/>

so it must know about this option already. How to enable it from the UI in the first place?

This is does not apply to FAHControl. You probably need to open your firewall to allow access to the port on FAHClient.
