StopHTTP() - empty function!?!

I needed to stop the HTTP server for security reasons and lo and behold StopHTTP() is an empty function. Needless to say I couldn't stop the server.

Anyone have a work-a-round for this?

Using Rel23_RC7 with a MOD5282 but StopHTTP() is in common system file: httpinternal.cpp.

Thanks,
Bob Hopf

How about just not calling StartHTTP() in the first place?

- You can pass a port number to StartHTTP() to make it listen on a different port. Maybe that would be secret/secure enough?

- You can password protect the web server access

- You can use SSL encryption and password protect that.
