When you create a container or list the containers you own, HCP does not require the use of SSL security with the HSwift request; that is, you can start the URL in the request with either HTTP or HTTPS. Whether the use of SSL security with other HSwift requests is required, optional, or not supported depends on the configuration of the HSwift API for the target container.
By default, the use of SSL security is optional for requests for operations other than creating a container or listing the containers you own. You cannot use HSwift to change this configuration. However, tenant administrators can use other HCP interfaces to reconfigure the HSwift API to require or not support the use of SSL security.
Account-level operations such as creating, updating or listing the objects of a container in an account can be done with both HTTP and HTTPS.
