Configuration of web server completely changed (merge of branch feature/mongoose-config2). Hopefully for the last time.

mhttpd is now controlled by these ODB variables:

/experiment/
.../midas http port	-> 8080 (0x1F90)
.../midas https port	-> 8443 (0x20FB)
.../http redirect to https -> "y"

the names are self obvious (hopefully)

access control is done by the "-a" command line arguments
and by the access control list in ODB, which works the same way
as the RPC ports access control list. An empty list means free access
from everywhere:

/experiment/security/mhttpd hosts/allowed hosts

the access control list is watched by httpd, there is no need to restarted it after updating the list.

after changing the port number settings, mhttpd should be restarted.

other web control options to mhttpd are:

daq06:midas$ ./linux/bin/mhttpd -h
usage: ./linux/bin/mhttpd [-h Hostname[:port]] [-e Experiment] [-v] [-D] [-a Hostname]
       -a only allow access for specific host(s), several [-a Hostname] statements might be given (default list is ODB "/Experiment/security/mhttpd hosts/allowed hosts")
       --http port - bind to specified HTTP port (default is ODB "/Experiment/midas http port")
       --https port - bind to specified HTTP port (default is ODB "/Experiment/midas https port")
       --nomg use the old mhttpd web server
       --oldserver [port] - use the old web server on given port
       --nooldserver - do not use the old mhttpd web server

To run mhttpd "the old way" (mhttpd -D -p 8080), say "mhttpd --oldserver 8080 --nomg".

The normal way to run mhttpd is: "mhttpd -v" to get debug information and "mhttpd -D" to run in the background.
