Only using "Https": { works. What's the difference between these 2 key names in the json configuration!?! [Enter feedback here]

Only using "Https": { works. What's the difference between these 2 key names in the json configuration!?! what 2 key names?

Why do you think HttpsInlineCertFile is throwing the exception?

[khteh]

No idea. Why does https work perfectly but not this key name? What does this magic key name HttpsInlineCertFile do?
