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.

[z/OS]Deprecated feature: You can use HTTP transports only on a V6.0.x node in a mixed cell environment. You must use HTTP transport channels instead of HTTP transports to handle your HTTP requests on all of your other nodes.

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.

If you have HTTP transports defined for your system, in the administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, and then in the Container Settings section, click Web container > HTTP transports > host_name to view or change the settings for your HTTP transport.
