Non-Blocking HTTP Connections
The IP Phones support a non-blocking HTTP connection feature. 
This feature 
allows the user to continue using the phone when there is a delay during an 
HTTP connection while the phone is waiting for the HTTP server to 
respond.
 This feature also allows a user to abort the connection and perform other 
operations on the phone (which will abort the HTTP connection automatically). A 
user can also abort the HTTP loading by pressing the GOODBYE key while the 
phone is displaying “Loading Page.......”.
Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods for 
Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)
The IP Phones have authentication support per RFC 2617 when using HTTP or 
HTTPS as download protocols. If a 5i Series phone is challenged by an HTTP or 
HTTPS server when the server attempts to download the aastra.cfg file, the phone 
automatically sends "aastra" as the default Username and Password back to the 
server. For more information about this feature, see Chapter 5, the section, 
.
Note: 
This feature impacts only the HTTP calls triggered by a phone key 
(softkey or programmable key); the HTTP calls performed by action 
URIs are still blocking.
