7.2 Web browser interface

It is not necessary to work directly on the PC where Hercules is running to enter the console commands.
Instead of using the hardware management console on the Hercules server itself it is possible to work
from a browser interface in a web browser.

The requirement to be able to work with the web browser interface is a running Hercules HTTP server.
The HTTP server is started through the HTTPPORT and HTTPROOT system parameter. For details on
configuring the HTTP server please see section "System Parameter Descriptions".
