Description
- The description of "web.port" assumes that the node is running a client/gateway. This should be amended to say something like "providing node status and, if the node is running a storage client a.k.a. gateway service, providing filesystem access as defined in webapi.rst <frontends/webapi.rst>_".
- The docs in docs/configuration.rst should be edited a little to explain that the thing called a "Tahoe-LAFS storage client" is also sometimes called a "Tahoe-LAFS gateway".
- The docs of the node section should include mention of a storage server and helper as kinds of nodes, in addition to storage client and introducer.
In addition, I think the following is a related issue:
- As far as I can tell, the tempdir field from the "node" section of the configuration file belongs in the "client" section, because a temp directory for uploading files is only used for clients/gateways.
But since fixing that will require an actual code change and not just a documentation change I'll put it in a separate ticket.
