The users will see an index of the share (if the browsable property of the share is set to true), and
can open and save files. For more information about accessing shares and uploading files, see

“Accessing shares” (page 119)

. For StoreAll REST API shares, you can do Express Query operations,

such as query and modify file properties, as described in

“Express Query” (page 162)

.

Managing the HTTP configuration

Select File Shares > HTTP from the Navigator to display the current HTTP configuration. The HTTP
Config Profiles panel lists the profiles that have been created. The Vhosts panel shows the virtual
hosts associated with the selected profile.

Use the buttons on the panels to modify or delete the selected configuration profile or virtual host.

To view HTTP shares on the GUI, select the appropriate profile on the HTTP Config Profiles top
panel, and then select the appropriate virtual host from the lower navigator. The Shares bottom
panel shows the shares configured on that virtual host. Click Add Share to add another share to
the virtual host. For example, you could create multiple shares having the same physical path, but
with different sets of properties, and then assign users to the appropriate share. You can also have
any number of REST API and regular HTTP shares attached to the same Vhost.

Tuning the socket read block size and file write block size

By default, the socket read block size and file write block size used by Apache are set to 8192
bytes. If necessary, you can adjust the values with the ibrix_httpconfig command. The values
must be between 8 KB and 2 GB.
