kapow server
sets up three HTTP server interfaces, each with a distinct and clear purpose.
The HTTP User Interface is used to serve final user requests.
By default it binds to address 0.0.0.0
and port 8080
, but that can be changed via the --bind
flag.
The HTTP Control Interface is used by the command kapow route
to administer the list of system routes.
By default it binds to address 127.0.0.1
and port 8081
, but that can be changed via the --control-bind
flag.
The HTTP Data Interface is used by the commands kapow get
and kapow set
to exchange the data for a particular request.
By default it binds to address 127.0.0.1
and port 8082
, but that can be changed via the --data-bind
flag.
