To enable HTTP, complete the following steps on the Content Composer server:

Note: For security reasons, we recommend the use of HTTPS.

From the Content Composer installation directory, open Composer.MWS.exe.config with a text editor that supports UTF-8.

Find the following lines and comment them out.

<service name="ModusSuite.MWS.MWSProcessServiceBasic" behaviorConfiguration ="BasicBehaviour_SSL">
...
</service>

Example

<!-- 
<service name="ModusSuite.MWS.MWSProcessServiceBasic" behaviorConfiguration ="BasicBehaviour_SSL">
...
</service>
-->

Find the following line.

<service name="ModusSuite.MWS.MWSProcessServiceBasic" behaviorConfiguration ="BasicBehaviour" >

Uncomment the Insecure HTTP Protocol part and comment out the Secure HTTPS Protocol part as shown in the following example.

Example

<!-- Insecure HTTP Protocol -->
<service name="ModusSuite.MWS.MWSProcessServiceBasic" behaviorConfiguration="BasicBehaviour">
<host>
  <baseAddresses>
    <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8011/mwsbasic" />
  </baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="mwsprocess"
          binding="basicHttpBinding"
          bindingConfiguration="BasicBinding"
          contract="ModusSuite.MWS.Types.IMWSProcessServiceBasic" />
</service> 
<!-- Secure HTTPS Protocol
<service name="ModusSuite.MWS.MWSProcessServiceBasic" behaviorConfiguration ="BasicBehaviour_SSL" >

    <add baseAddress="https://localhost:8111/mwsbasic" />
  </baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="mwsprocess"
          binding="basicHttpBinding"
          bindingConfiguration="BasicBinding_SSL"
