Hi Olga,

Thanks for looking closely at the online help. Regarding the usage of
each field, i hope the Admin Guide can answer your question. I looked
at the Admin Guild for v3 TP2 release,
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4495/ablsw?a=view there is very
minimal information regarding HTTP Service. This probably needs
improvement. I am cc'ing the docs alias so they are aware of that.
I'll prefer that the web container team to answer your specific question
regarding each field. cc'ing Jan on this.

As for #3 below, Security can be turned on or off for the listener
regardless of the profile. We will need to fix that in the On-Line
Help. Maybe you can file an issue so Paul can take care of that.

thanks
Anissa.
