This protocol MAY be used with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS), as specified in [RFC2246], [RFC4346] and [RFC5246].

Port 80 is the standard port assignment for HTTP, and port 443 is the standard port assignment for HTTP over SSL/TLS. Implementations MAY support other ports.<2>
