Playing around with a few configurations and was curious about https. It appears that the AWS clould supports https communication with cloud APIs with the following setting: cloud: aws: protocol: https Is there HTTPS support the ES rest APIs? Just curious, at the moment, as I don't think it will matter in my final config. Thanks, Paul ---

No, there isn't support for HTTPS at the HTTP REST level. The one for the aws is to control how to "talk" to AWS, using https or not. -shay.banon On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Paul [ppearcy@gmail.com](mailto:ppearcy@gmail.com) wrote: > Playing around with a few configurations and was curious about https. > It appears that the AWS clould supports https communication with cloud > APIs with the following setting: > cloud: > aws: > protocol: https > > Is there HTTPS support the ES rest APIs?
