Re: Does Kickstart Support Secure HTTP (port 443)

[Matt Fahrner <Matt Fahrner coat com>]

I looked into it for similar reasons and from what I can see it doesn't. 
What we ended up doing is just making the firewall ACL more specific to 
allow only port 80 to the kickstart host.

Maybe I'm wrong, I would be happy to hear it did support this, but I 
don't think it does.
