"Http.Ssl.Protocols" and "Http.Ssl.Protocol" parameters explained

Problem

What is the difference in the "Http.Ssl.Protocols" and "Http.Ssl.Protocol" parameters on the Server Configuration page in ST?

Resolution

The "Http.Ssl.Protocols" is practically a list of the enabled encryption types for the HTTPS connection. You can disable a certain type of encryption by removing it from the list of entries.

On the other hand "Http.Ssl.Protocol" refers to the preferred encryption type(e.g. TLS). If possible, the connection would be established using the preferred encryption type.
