Web (http) access totally broken in OS 6.6.0
I don't normally have HTTP access turned on for shares. But I was having some issues trying to install an SSL certificate for a web site and OwnCloud, so I turned it on to see what changes it made t...
I am pretty sure this is expected behavior. You could put your own index.html file there if you wanted to host a website from your NAS. The read-write part comes into play with webdav.
I thought we used to show browse.html (http://ip/admin/browse.html) when you would visit these without an index but I guess not.
So the "expected behavior" is that it acts nothing like the instructions say it should? I'm not buying it. browse.html is still there in /frontview/dashboard, but the only way to get there is from the admin dashboard. Users can't access it as they used to be able to. And why would the access control for HTTP be intentionally changed to "all or nothing"? Now, if I do create a website, I have to be careful to set the rights to all files so that nobody can delete them, I can't just set the whole share to read-only for everyone but admin.
If it's intentional, it's downright foolish.
One minor correction. You can go to http://<nas-ip>/browse.html as admin, you don't have to go through the main admin page.
