In HTTP listener configuration there's a checkbox labeled "Security". Documentation explains it only as "Security: Check this box if you want to create a listener that is secure".

It seems highly likely that the said box probably should be checked in production or the server is going to do something I'd rather prefer it not to, but what? What does the checkbox actually do? This is interesting question, since setting will, without any further explanation, make listener "secure" or not and therefore the very definition of "secure" is left unexplained.

I'd like to know what the setting actually affects and would suggest the explanation to be added to the documentation, too.
