HTTPS refers to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, a security protocol that encrypts and transfers data based on the HTTP protocol to ensure the security of data transfer. When configuring HTTPS, you need to provide a certificate for the domain name and deploy it on all CDN nodes to implement encrypted data transfer across the entire network.
