how to configure web browser for a https server running on the same wifi network?

  • 772

I have installed an app on my android device which makes it a ftp or https server by fixing a port number for listening and username and password in case of ftp server.

I have successfully tried the ftp from android device as a server and my ubuntu 14.10 desktop as a client(by filezilla),both having local ip's ,under the same Wifi connection.

But when I tried for https server on my android device by making it to listen on port no.50345 and having local ip address of 192.168.1.7 . and started the server.

I switched to my ubuntu desktop in the same home network and changed the proxy setting to ip 192.168.1.7 (android device) and port no. to 50345(port no on which the https server is listening) , and on the address bar I typed

https://192.168.1.7:50345

but it's not working and showing an error on my android app log file:

[jazz]-Listening for connections
[jazz]-192.168.1.10-Error 43:CONNECT method not supported

well 192.168.1.10 is my ubuntu system's ip Can someone tell me why is this so?? It worked well with ftp but not so with https?

    Why do you set the proxy settings ? If your Android isn't acting as a proxy but as a HTTPS server, you don't need to set any proxy on your desktop, only putting https://192.168.1.7:50345in your address bar.

    Could you please try it and tell us the answer?

    You could also try directly with curlon command line, curl -v https://192.168.1.7:50345
