HTTP Not Working for Local Development – Only HTTPS Supported

[SAljajith]

Description:

• Earlier, the API was accessible over both HTTP and HTTPS, and it was working properly on localhost for local development.
• Currently, the API works only over HTTPS, and HTTP access is no longer supported.
• For local development and testing purposes, HTTP support is required, as setting up HTTPS locally is inconvenient and was not mandatory earlier.

Expected Behavior:

• API should be accessible over HTTP on localhost for local development.
• HTTPS can remain enabled for non-local or production environments.

Actual Behavior:

• API is accessible only via HTTPS.
• HTTP requests fail, even in local/localhost environments.

Impact:

• Local development and testing are blocked or slowed down due to mandatory HTTPS configuration.
