4.15. Web server

Mpd provides HTTP interface for monitoring and control purposes. This chapter describes commands for configuring Mpd's web server.

set web open

Opens the web server, i.e., creates the listening TCP socket.

set web close

Closes the web server, i.e., closes the listening TCP socket.

set web self ip [ port ]

Sets the credentials for the web-listener. After changing one of these options, the web must be closed and re-opened for the changes to take effect.

The default is '127.0.0.1 5006'.

set web enable option ...
set web disable option ...

These commands configure various web server options.

The enable and disable commands determine whether we want the corresponding option.

The options available for the web are:

This option enables basic authorisation on web server.

The default is enable.
