Kapow! HTTP Interfaces¶
kapow server
sets up three HTTP server interfaces, each with a distinct and
clear purpose.
HTTP User Interface¶
The HTTP User Interface
is used to serve final user requests.
By default it binds to address 0.0.0.0
and port 8080
, but that can be
changed via the --bind
flag.
HTTPS Control Interface¶
The HTTPS Control Interface
is used by the command kapow route
to
administer the list of system routes.
This interface uses mTLS by default (double-pinned autogenerated certs).
By default it binds to address 127.0.0.1
and port 8081
, but that can be
changed via the --control-bind
flag. If this is the case, consider
also --control-reachable-addr
which will configure the autogenerated
certificate to match that address.
HTTP Data Interface¶
The HTTP Data Interface
is used by the commands kapow get
and kapow
set
to exchange the data for a particular request.
By default it binds to address 127.0.0.1
and port 8082
, but that can be
changed via the --data-bind
flag.
