HTTP transport settings

Use this page to view and configure an HTTP transport. The name of the page might be that of an SSL setting such as DefaultSSLSettings. This page is not available if you do not have an HTTP transport defined for your system.

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] On a distributed platform, if, when migrating from Version 5.x, you indicate that you want to continue using an HTTP transport to handle your HTTP requests, your Version 5 transports are migrated for you. If you are not migrating from WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x, you must set up an HTTP transport channel to handle your HTTP requests.

[z/OS] On the z/OS platform, the HTTP transport will continue to be used as the default transport for HTTP requests. The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS ISPF Customization Dialog will continue to be used to configure a default HTTP transport and, at most, one additional transport for HTTPS. If you are a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 5.x user who has migrated to Version 6, note that the Version 5.x HTTP (and, optionally HTTPS) transport definitions will remain unchanged in Version 6. You can use the HTTP Transport panel of the administrative console to configure these transports. In Version 6, you can define additional HTTP listeners as HTTP transport channels.

The use of IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) and WS-AT (Web Services Atomic Transactions) are not supported on HTTP transports; they are only supported on HTTP transport channel chains.

To view the HTTP Transport panel on the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Web Container Settings > Web Container > HTTP Transports > host_name.
