[MarkLogic Dev General] XCC and HTTP

[Travis Spencer]

Good Evening All,

I noticed something in the MLS logs the other day that made we wonder
if XCC was transporting over HTTP.  I checked with WireShark and found
that it is.  Now, I'm confused.  When should one use an HTTP app
server and when should one use XCC?  What additional value is XCC
providing?  Also, it seems that XCC is transmitted the base64 encoded
credentials in the clear which I was easily able to sniff and decode.
Can XCC be configured to use HTTPS, so that this isn't possible?
