custom http and dat URLs #7
Description
Per the a part of the discussions in #3 I have been researching how to best get custom urls working in dat and on a pi behind dynamic dns because dathttpd is currently not working on my end. I have my pi set up behind my router with ports 80, 443 and 3238 forwarding to the local IP.
I have successfully been able to serve a custom dat and http url by spawning a simplehttp server at port 80 and creating a .well-known/dat file. I set an A record at my domain to point to my public IP (might change)
You can access this at http://test.newcomputers.group or dat://test.newcomputers.group
The fact that I successfully got this running suggest dathttp should work and therefore configuring custom urls in the front-end should work too.
