Selecting HTTP or HTTPS for Firebox
Management
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the “language” used for trans-
ferring files (text, graphic images, and multimedia files) on the
Internet. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket
Layer) is similar except that it enhances computer security by
encrypting and decrypting the names of Web pages you type into
your browser. For greater security, the Firebox® X Edge uses HTTPS
by default.
