Endpoint Protocols

Endpoints have one of four supported protocols:

• HTTP/S Endpoints - http, https
• TCP Endpoints - tcp
• TLS Endpoints - tls

An Endpoint's protocol is specified in the scheme of its URL. For example:

• https://app.example.com uses the https protocol
• tcp://db.internal:3306 uses the tcp protocol

An Endpoint's protocol determines:

1. How it processes connections that it receives
2. The phases, variables, and actions that may be defined on its Traffic Policy.
3. What hostnames and ports may be specified in its URL
