I dont see any sample of using NEST with https. How can I encrypt data using NEST if i use https instead of http like this i get error:

var node = new Uri("[https://myserver:9200](https://myserver:9200)");  
var settings = new ConnectionSettings(node);  
var client = new ElasticClient(settings);

What error do you get? Can you provide

- A stack trace
- The `DebugInformation` from a response (also set `.DisableDirectStreaming()` on `ConnectionSettings` to gather more information).

Are you using a self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by a CA?
