Question on Isilon OneFS API protocol HTTP and HTTPS

Question

Hi,  I am working on getting Isilon cluster capacity information using Isilon APIs (EMC Isilon OneFS v8.2.1.0) and came across a few questions related to Protocol and Port. Sample API: https://192.168.32.67:8080/platform/8/statistics/current?key=ifs.bytes.total&key=ifs.bytes.used&key=ifs.bytes.avail&key=ifs.percent.used&key=ifs.percent.free&devid=all As you can see in the above URL, it is using HTTPS protocol using port 8080. So I would like to know if it is possible that the Protocol (HTTPS) and Port (8080) can be changed for Isilon API?  On the below website, I found that for EMC Isilon - The default protocol is HTTPS and the default port is 8080. You can’t change the protocol, but you can change the port. Site URL: https://support.riverbed.com/bin/support/static/fpiud2u5jer57nnkb8dv4h83d3/html/53pnfojfu6a20u8jh08h4b3mu8/sf_core_5.5_ug_nfs_html/index.html#page/sf_core_5.5_ug_nfs_html/Core.Configuring.04.16.html Can you please confirm if Isilon API only supports HTTPS protocol and it can not be changed? Or it supports both HTTP and HTTPS?  I have also checked the Isilon Security Configuration guide, but there it is not clearly mentioned if it can support both HTTP and HTTPS.  Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks!!

found it alot easier to use python bindings and gather the information via the python REST API as it abstracts alot of the network details you are asking about.
