* HTML cleanup for the router console (thanks!) 2005-09-07 jrandom * Lay the foundation for 'client routers' - the ability for peers to opt out of participating in tunnels entirely due to firewall/NAT issues. Individual routers have control over where those peers are used in tunnels - in outbound or inbound, exploratory or client tunnels, or none at all. The defaults with this build are to simply act as before - placing everyone as potential participants in any tunnel. * Another part of the foundation includes the option for netDb participants to refuse to answer queries regarding peers who are marked as unreachable, though this too is disabled by default (meaning the routerInfo is retrievable from the netDb).
The routerconsole application is an embedable web server / servlet container. In it there is a bundled routerconsole.war containing JSPs (per jsp/*) that implement a web based control panel for the router. This console gives the user a quick view into how their router is operating and exposes some pages to configure it. The web server itself is Jetty [1] and is contained within the various jar files under lib/. To embed this web server and the included router console, the startRouter script needs to be updated to include those jar files in the class path, plus the router.config needs appropriate entries to start up the server: clientApp.3.main=net.i2p.router.web.RouterConsoleRunner clientApp.3.name=webConsole clientApp.3.args=7657 0.0.0.0 ./webapps/ That instructs the router to fire up the webserver listening on port 7657 on all of its interfaces (0.0.0.0), loading up any .war files under the ./webapps/ directory. The RouterConsoleRunner itself configures the Jetty server to give the ./webapps/routerconsole.war control over the root context, directing a request to http://localhost:7657/index.jsp to the routerconsole.war's index.jsp. Any other .war file will be mounted under their filename's context (e.g. myi2p.war would be reachable at http://localhost:7657/myi2p/index.jsp). [1] http://jetty.mortbay.com/jetty/index.html
