Question and request:

Question: Is it safe to open a static html page, serverd by monaserver, to the www?

Request: Is it too much to ask, to make it easy so one can?

Why, my situation:
I know how to script in windows cmd, more or less.
I made a script to create an html page from a txt file (very not complex), and with mona, I know how to put it up in a server, and see it around my house using the local IP.
I also know how to forward ports from the router to the computer, to open a port to the public internet.

I was thinking of learning java, or lua, idk to know how to force a password before entering the server. And with that, I wanted to open it to the internet. To access the page from outside my house.

But, then I saw these pages:
http://www.monaserver.ovh/serverapp.html#pull-data-remote-procedure-call
http://www.monaserver.ovh/api.html#ref-mona

And I think that over that, I'd have to learn the mona api itself, and I'm starting to lose faith. Maybe I'll just solve it with github pages. But:

Is making some "public internet ready" monaserver version or thing, to display at least static pages, possible?
I mean, implementing some form of security or something.

If not by the devs, I'm throwing also the idea to the rest of the world.

Also, thanks for the great program that is mona server.

Hi!

We have just published a small tutorial to add some security to MonaTiny with login and password, please follow this link :

Note that this is just a solution and there is a lot of possibilities when we talk about security on the internet.
Every use case is different and we can't implement something generic for all protocols and all cases, this is up to the user.

Regards

Thomas
