public enum Protocol extends Enum<Protocol>
Represents the communication protocol to use when sending requests to AWS.

Communication over HTTPS is the default, and is more secure than HTTP, which is why AWS recommends using HTTPS. HTTPS connections can use more system resources because of the extra work to encrypt network traffic, so the option to use HTTP is available in case users need it.
