Hi,

 

HTTPS means HTTP over SSL. In other words, HTTP communication is inside SSL encrypted tunnel.

 

If you don’t decrypt SSL tunnel, you won’t be able to read or write HTTP content.

 

Enabling HTTP profile means the protocol is HTTP, if it detect it’s not HTTP, the connection is rejected! HTTPS not decrypted by clientssl profile doesn’t match http protocol!
