HTTP Settings
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the transport protocol for communicating hypertext
documents on the Internet. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted. It also
defines the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to different commands.
HTTP Authentication enables the requirement of usernames and passwords for access to the
device.

The protocols are enabled by default.

the SSL configuration section to use HTTPS.

used for the secure connection.
