This has a lot of similarities with the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Sites.2FOptions_Tab|Cumulus 1 settings]], except that this screen only covers what was on the main tab in Cumulus 1. Again there are hints, MX has more options than Cumulus 1 had, and some defaults are different in the two flavours. No settings take effect until '''Save''' button pressed. In Cumulus 1, you had one setting to upload the standard files and that included web pages, moon image, and the graphs. MX has separate selection settings for the uploading the standard files (web pages), the include graph files (JSON files used by charts) [[File:Include graph data files.PNG]], for generating the moon image, and for uploading the moon image.▼

All settings entered here are stored in [[Cumulus.ini]] and all (including '''FTP logging''' in '''Web/FTP settings''' section) retain their settings when MX is restarted. No settings take effect until '''Save''' button pressed.
Each section for an external web site has a number of parameters to set, once set MX will automatically upload to that site the weather values in the correct format. Windy has been added to the external web sites that can be automatically updated. No settings take effect until '''Save''' button pressed.
The main new feature within this settings page is a '''Custom Http''' section. Within here you can define commands to be executed either at some multiple of seconds interval, and/or at a selected intervals in minutes, and/or at end of day (in [[#MX_End_of_Day_Process|EOD sequence shown below]], the Custom HTTP is run before external programs are run, and that is before upload of Extra Files at EOD). In each of these you can use web tags to supply values for parameters to the command. Typically this would be used to send information to a remote web server. Here is a Custom HTTP example <pre>https://the_URL_here/your_api_here?winddir=<#avgbearing>&windspeedmph=<#wspeed>&windgustmph=<#wgust>&tempf=<#temp>&rainin=<#rhour>&baromin=<#press>&dewptf=<#dew>&humidity=<#hum>&uv=<#UV>"</pre> No settings take effect until '''Save''' button pressed. You need to turn on enhanced debug logging to see any confirmation that the http has run:
