Dear all,
as the title implies, we would like to use the CtrlX's REST API via HTTP, not HTTPS, for development purposes.
The reason is that we are developing a custom client program that communicates with the REST API, that we experience some diffculties with that and that it would be very convenient if we could simply use Wireshark to analyze those issues. But the latter is not possible at the moment (at least, not with reasonable effort) because Wireshark can't show the encrypted payloads.
Hence the question: Can we disable HTTPS on the CtrlX and enable HTTP instead?
Thank you very much in advance!

No, this is not possible as it would break the security strategy and efforts taken for the control.
You would have to implement you own unsecure mechanism.
