Hello Knight Shadow!

I'm using the built-in web server in Mystic for this. Although it only supports HTTP, not HTTPS, and Mystic appears to be finicky about source IP addresses, so I haven't been able to use Apache as a reverse proxy in front of it to get HTTPS support that way...

Have a look at this example, intended to be unpacked in your Mystic
directory (remember to edit webroot/www/index.html to e.g. change the redirection URLs there):

https://scbbs.nsupdate.info/files/webroot.zip

It is based on http://www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/dlreq.zip but with
a few quirks fixed and a simple layout. (The original files are named *.ORIGINAL alongside the new ones.)

The web root path (e.g. /mystic/webroot/) also needs to be set in Servers --> Configure Servers --> Server Type: HTTP --> Root Path, and Active needs to be set to Yes (of course).

Hope this helps!

Best regards
