For those resellers who are located in a country far from Germany, network latency may be an issue.  To greatly increase response times and performance, HEXONET highly recommends the use of persistent connections to our API servers.  Use of this technique will reduce connection overhead and thus increase performance. 

Step 1: Required Apache2 Packages and Modules

• Apache version 2.2.9 or higher is required.
• The following Apache2 modules must be installed and activated:

  proxy.conf proxy.load proxy_http.load ssl.conf # for HTTPs connection to our API server ssl.load # for HTTPs connection to our API server

Step 2: Apache Configuration

• Apache configuration with binding to localhost.
• The following Apache2 modules must be installed and activated:

  <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>         ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost         ServerSignature Off         SSLProxyEngine on         ProxyPass /api/call.cgi https://api.ispapi.net/api/call.cgi min=1 max=2         <Proxy *>                 Order Deny,Allow                 Deny from none                 Allow from all         </Proxy> </VirtualHost>

• After saving your configuration changes please restart the Apache webserver.

Step 3: Use the proxy on localhost as API socket

• If your current API socket URL probably looks like this:

  https://api.ispapi.net/api/call.cgi?s_entity=ENTITY&s_login=LOGIN&s_pw=PASSWORD

• Please change this to:

  http://127.0.0.1/api/call.cgi?s_entity=ENTITY&s_login=LOGIN&s_pw=PASSWORD
