If you have secured the cluster, configure the client to send HTTPS requests.

That would depend on which client you are using and you have not provided any data I’ll about this.

Actually what is the problem is, we deployed elasticsearch msi service in our local server. it is working fine in other server. When i deploy it in a particular server which is hosted in internet, we are getting the error "Client send a HTTP request to HTTPS server."  
So we need to send the https request from client.  
is there any configuration in elasticsearch.yml file to send an HTTPS request?  
If there means, what are the changes has to be done in configuration file?
