Configuration Guide Configuring HTTP Service
HTTP/1.1 solves the weakness. The version supports persistent connection which can transmit multiple requests and
responses so that clients do not need to wait for completion of the last request to send the second request. Therefore,
network delay is reduced and performance is improved. See Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 HTTP/1.1 protocol packet interaction
Currently, Ruijie switches support HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.
Which protocol version is used by the switch is determined by the Web browser.
HTTPS Service
HTTPS service adds an SSL layer based on HTTP to enhance safety. To make the protocol effective, the server must
have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate, which is unnecessary for clients. The SSL protocol provides the
following services:
Authenticating users and servers to ensure that data is sent to the right clients and servers;
Encrypting data to prevent interception during transmission;
Protecting integrity of data and preventing modification of data during transmission.
