    Have you considered putting up a site with ftelnet or something? I actually
    do a lot of my BBSing from my iPad while on the road (90% of my life it
    seems) and selfishly I tend to check out boards via the web more than via telnet ;)

    That may happen. Just got back in the game a few weeks ago.
    More research, I suppose... Frank?!? ;)

    Luckily this one is pretty easy -- I found this when I was first setting up
    my BBS and trying to figure out how to have my friends check it out without having to download a custom terminal program.

    You can see my simple web page / source that has it here: http://mysticisland.strangled.net/webconnect.html

    There is wizard to fill out the details that can give you the output for your own site here:
    http://embed-v2.ftelnet.ca/

    You can also see they use it here -- just pick any BBS and they embed it at
    the bottom:
    https://www.telnetbbsguide.com

    If you need help testing or validating it works we can help with that :)

    That will give you more info. It is an HTML5 ANSI bbs client. Assuming you

    Forgot to mention of your running Mystic it can host it's own web server as well to host HTML files. I have not tried it and am just running my site with Apache but kind of nice it can host it's own web site as well on the same server/service. I know others are using it for a basic web site. Probably
    okay if all you need is static HTML.

    It is great for a quick and dirty static page. Hopefully g00r00 will give us the ability to process a scripting language like php with fpm-php or
    something similar down the road.

    I hate to disparage the work g00r00 put into mystic to make it do this, but...why? :) There are perfectly good, mature, hardened, secure http
    daemons. As far as I know, mystic doesn't even speak https, right? Does it offer something unique that nginx doesn't? Or apache?

    I think his initial thought process was to use Mystic's built in http server
    to offer up download links when downloading something from the bbs, much like it can do ftp download links.

    He in turn, offered to make it available for static pages. On the flip side, having an http server that can't process any scripting like js, php, python, etc. can actually be a security benefit. The other side of that argument is that you can't really do anything with it short of serving a download link or static page.

    I agree -- it's really supposed to be a very simple service and makes sense
    to be an easy way to provide static files of all types.

    I like the idea that out of the box I can also have an HTTP front end just to provide the details on how to connect to the BBS or FTP, etc.

    Then those that want to go beyond that can still use other advanced means.
    Not everyone across all platforms understand web server configuration so it is great for those just getting into Mystic to put something up quickly IMO.

    If your only hosting static pages there really is no need to support HTTPS -- and I think that is good for this. If you need to support HTTPS/SSL certs
    then you are going beyond basic needs.

    Ah, interesting, makes sense. That said, in linux at least, this is pretty simple and actually sounds like a cool mod for me to work on.

    I suppose it is a security benefit in a manner of speaking but I'd still
    rather use a fully baked and hardened http daemon that gets constant updates every time there's a new CVE. Call me crazy... :)

    The fact that we can't do https to me is a show stopper. I'm reluctant to
    even browse to sites that don't offer https. My work laptop flat out won't allow it, and I have a chrome plugin to block all non-https traffic by
    default. Hopefully he can at least enable that at some point.

    Forgot to mention of your running Mystic it can host it's own web server as well to host HTML files. I have not tried it and am just running my site with Apache but kind of nice it can host it's own web site as well
    on the same server/service. I know others are using it for a basic web site. Probably okay if all you need is static HTML.

    Actually, I think that Im going to wait until my new Qnap arrives to decide
    how I want to post the bbs presence on the web. I have no delusions that the board will ever be anything but a retirement project for me with nothing near the popularity we enjoyed in the 90s. I do appreciate that more potential exists by making it available on the web. We shall see....

    On that note I completely agree with you give me ssl or give me nothing.

    Personally I like to see a balance. I'm a bit of a purist. The BBS experience should be had on the BBS. Synchronet and others allow you to post to the message bases and other BBS functions from the web. I don't mind putting up some stats, like I do now, or the last callers/oneliners etc, but all you can do is see them, you can't add or modify them.

    I think part of my paranoia stems from me never being home and always being
    on hotel wifi. I simply won't use open wifi without https. I typically VPN
    but as a failsafe (a lot of countries suffer IP blocks on certain VPNs, and a lot of sites actually block VPN addresses) the bare minimum security I expect is SSL.

    I'm a firm believer also that the BBS experience should take place on the
    BBS, although I do confess to (usually) using an offline mail reader for echomail... Just as a reminder, Synchronet allows web access *IF* the Sysop wants it that way - it's not enabled on my board. ;-)
