Need the InfluxDB 1.8.9 OSS instance to run with http and https.

In configuration,

> [http]
> 
> enabled = true
> 
> https-enabled = true
> 
> https-certificate=‘test.crt’  
> https-private-key = ‘test.key’

But only https was working. How to enable http also ?

Problem was some of my IoT device support only http protocol.  
But for analytics and some IoT devices supports only https protocol.

Hello @pksankar,  
Welcome! I’m not sure but I’m assuming you’d need two [http] sections? one for http and one for https?  
Have you tried that?
