HTTP #

Configuration #

The protocol can be configured via the kuzzlerc configuration file, under the server > protocols > http section.

Option	Type	Description	Default
`enabled`	boolean	Enable/Disable HTTP protocol support	`true`
`maxFormFileSize`	string	Maximum size of requests sent via http forms	`1mb`
`maxEncodingLayers`	integer	Maximum number of encoding layers that can be applied to an http message, using the Content-Encoding header. This parameter is meant to prevent abuses by setting an abnormally large number of encodings, forcing Kuzzle to allocate as many decoders to handle the incoming request	`3`
`allowCompression`	boolean	Enable support for compressed requests, using the Content-encoding header. Currently supported compression algorithms: gzip, deflate, identity. Note: "identity" is always an accepted value, even if compression support is disabled	`true`

Configure listening port #

HTTP, WebSocket and Socket.IO protocols share the same underlying server instance. Modifying the listening port will impact all these three protocols.

By default, Kuzzle listens to the 7512 port.

The port can be modified under the server > port section of Kuzzle configuration.

Limitations #

Due to the synchronous nature of the HTTP protocol, real-time messaging is not supported.
