The Servoy HTTP Tunnel provides support to tunnel all traffic between the Servoy Application Server and the Servoy Smart Client over the HTTP protocol.

By default, the Servoy Smart Client communicates with the Servoy Application Server using the a binary RMI protocol over TCP/IP. In case where the Servoy Application Server is located behind a firewall this means that a dedicated port needs to be opened on the firewall for the the communication between the Servoy Application Server and the Servoy Smart Client.

In corporations that maintain strict firewall policies and/or have proxies installed, opening the dedicated port might be problematic.

With the Servoy HTTP Tunnel Servoy provides a solution. Using the Servoy HTTP Tunnel, all traffic between the Servoy Application Server and Servoy Smart Clients will run over the HTTP protocol and over the HTTP port.

By default, the Servoy Application Server uses port 8080 for all HTTP traffic. Changing this port can easily be done, see Port configuration
