URL List

This topic describes URL list arguments in greater depth. 

https://host1:port1|https://host2:port2|https://host3:port3
A URL list is an argument that specifies a set of interchangeable cooperating FTL servers. URL lists are important in the following contexts:
  • FTL server configuration file parameters such as satelliteof, drfor, and drto accept arguments in this form.
  • Command line parameters that specify servers can accept a URL list.
  • API call parameters that specify FTL servers can accept a URL list.

The host can specify a host computer or an interface of a host computer.

The port specifies the FTL server port for all communications with the server. Even if an FTL server provides several services, network administrators need open only one port. The server automatically multiplexes the request stream to its services. The default port number is 8585.
