Advanced <strong>Configuration</strong><br />

When the Listener receives an incoming message (or rather an HTTP/HTTPS<br />

request), it informs the Messenger – by way of the permanent connection –<br />

about the arrival of the new request, indicating which port the Messenger can<br />

use to pick up the connection.<br />

Note: This port number is r<strong>and</strong>omly selected by the Listener <strong>and</strong> cannot be<br />

configured.<br />

The Messenger picks up the connection on the Listener’s specified port <strong>and</strong><br />

redirects it to its own local port for further processing.<br />

This local port corresponds to the setting for<br />

<strong>Configuration</strong> → Messenger → Listener → HTTP[S] → Internal Messenger Port<br />

in the configuration GUI.<br />

Forwarding Mode<br />

Details of the communication flow:<br />

<br />

<br />

In forwarding mode, no permanent connection is established between the<br />

Messenger <strong>and</strong> the Listener.<br />

When the Listener receives an incoming HTTP/HTTPS request, it simply forwards<br />

the request to the Messenger using the address specified in listener.properties<br />

(HttpServer/HttpsServer).<br />

Note: To allow this forwarding connection, the firewall has to be configured so<br />

that the Listener is permitted to access the Messenger on the specified port(s).<br />
