Administering HTTP Protocols

Each HTTP listener has an HTTP protocol, which is created either by using the create-protocol subcommand or by using the built-in protocols that are applied when you follow the instructions in To Create an HTTP Network Listener.

The following topics are addressed here:

• To Create a Protocol

• To List Protocols

• To Delete a Protocol

To Create a Protocol

Use the create-protocol subcommand in remote mode to create a protocol.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. Create a protocol by using the create-protocol(1)

   Information about options and properties for the subcommand are included in this help page.

Example 16–1 Creating an HTTP Protocol

This example creates a protocol named http-1 with security enabled.

asadmin> create-protocol --securityenabled=true http-1
Command create-protocol executed successfully.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help create-protocol at the command line.

To List Protocols

Use the list-protocols subcommand in remote mode to list the existing HTTP protocols.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. List the existing protocols by using the list-protocols(1) subcommand.

Example 16–2 Listing the Protocols

This example lists the existing protocols.

asadmin> list-protocols
admin-listener
http-1
http-listener-1
http-listener-2
Command list-protocols executed successfully.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help list-protocols at the command line.

To Delete a Protocol

Use the delete-protocol subcommand in remote mode to remove a protocol.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. Delete a protocol by using the delete-protocol(1) subcommand

Example 16–3 Deleting a Protocol

This example deletes the protocol named http-1.

asadmin> delete-protocol http-1
Command delete-protocol executed successfully.
