What are the differences between `xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled` and `xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled`

I'm trying to configure xpack on my ES cluster, when I read the document, for the xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled and xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled, both of them are Used to enable or disable TLS/SSL., but I can't find any docs about their differences. Are there any differences?

HTTP is for the API that you would interact with.
Transport is for inter-node communications.

I see, thank you a lot.

Thank you for raising this issue! I'll update the docs to distinguish that these settings are for enabling TLS on different layers.
