+==== HTTP ====
+Mystic BBS now offers a basic HTTP server.
+Here's what is known thus far as quoted in WHATSNEW.TXT
+   + MIS now has a basic HTTP server.  The server can be created in the server
+     editor within the configuration.  A webroot path must be defined, which
+     points to a directory where your website files and configuration will
+     exist.  For example, if you set webroot to c:\mystic\webroot\ then you
+     will need to create two subdirectories under it (cfg and www):
+        c:\mystic\webroot\cfg\
+        c:\mystic\webroot\www\
+     In the www folder will be where you place your website files.  The CFG
+     folder will hold various configuration values for the web server in the
+     future.  Note this is a very barebones server at this point only really
+     capable of serving basic websites, but I intend to work on it further as
+     I find time.
+The default port for HTTP is 80 but this can be set to something different if you wish.
+The HTTP server configuration screen is displayed below.

+There are a number of options available to you for configuration in this screen.
+== Active ==
+Is the server active or not? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'
+== ID ==
+Sets a protocol ID shown in the Mystic Internet Server 'status' screen. Best to leave these as default.
+== Adapter Type ==
+Use IPv4, IPv6 or dual stack? Options are IPV4, IPV6, IPV4+IPV6
+== IPV4 Adapter ==
+Specify network interface for IPv4 adapter. Leave as 0.0.0.0 if you wish Mystic to accept ANY connection on a
+specified port for all IPv4 adapters.
+== IPV6 Adapter ==
+Specify network interface for IPv6 adapter. Leave as :: if you wish Mystic to accept ANY connection on a
+specified port for all IPv6 adapters.
+== Port ==
+Set which port to use for new connections on this server. Default is 80.
+== Max Allowed ==
+Set maximum concurrent connections allowed for this server. This setting is also associated with //Max BBS Nodes// found in the [[config_server_options|General Options]] section of the 'Servers' menu.
+== Auto IP Ban ==
+This option will automatically BAN an IP if they connect to a server more than X times in X seconds.  The default recommendation is 4 connections in 120 seconds.  Setting either of the values to a zero will disable this feature. Refer also to the [[introduction#IP_BLOCKING_+_EXCEPTIONS|IP Blocks + Exceptions]] and [[config_edit_ip_blacklist|Edit IP Blacklist]] and [[config_edit_ip_whitelist|Edit IP Whitelist]] sections of the Wiki.
+== Country Block ==
+Use IP2Location country blocking? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'.
+Mystic offers country blocking using a local database the Sysop installs from the Internet. Read more about this feature in the [[config_edit_country_blocking|Edit Country Blocking]] section of the Wiki.
+== Send Blocked ==
+Send BLOCKED message to client when blocked? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'.
+== Dupe IP Limit ==
+Set the maximum number of allowed connections per IP address. A setting of 0 will disable this limit.
