The embedded HTTP server receives requests for WebSphere assets from the WebSphere plug-in and passes them to an application server for processing.

• Any response from the application server is passed back to the WebSphere plug-in for display.

• The embedded HTTP server supports both HTTP and secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocols for connecting Web servers to application servers. By default, the
embedded HTTP server listens for requests on TCP/IP port 9080 but this is configurable.

• For example: http://server-name:9080/servlet/snoop

• You can also use the embedded HTTP server to test your WebSphere applications, but it should never be used as a production Web server.
