Enable/ Disable http server for specific ethernet interface

[surfista123]

When enabling the http server it is enabled for both interfaced ETH0 and ETH1.

For security reasons we need to disable the http server on one of both interfaces. Then ETH0 we could use for critcal vehicle based communicaton and ETH1 for service functionality.

It would be great to select the target interface when calling netHTTPs_Start() or netHTTPs_Stop()

Also possible could be to disable the http/https server port for the targeting ethernet interface.

We will add an option to configure the HTTP server to bind to a specific network interface. We are considering adding an API function, netHTTPs_SetInterface(), to bind the HTTP server to a specific network interface. The server will then ignore all connections that are not on that interface.

Also possible could be to disable the http/https server port for the targeting ethernet interface.

Please explain what you mean by that.

Thanks, that are great news!

Binding the http Server to one specific network interface with a function like netHTTPs_SetInterface() would work for us.

With "disabling the server port" I meant to disable the http server port defined by HTTP_SERVER_PORT_NUM for one specific ethernet interface. Then the http server would only be reachable over the other ethernet interface.

There is no need to disable the server port. If the HTTP server is bound to a specific network interface, connections from other interfaces are not possible. The HTTP server is not reachable through the other Ethernet interface. This is by design, so there is no need to block the ports explicitly.
