Applications which support the HTTPS Profile shall support HTTP 1.1.

The body of the HTTP Messages shall be OPC UA Binary encoded blob. The Content-type shall be "application/octet-stream".

An example HTTP request header is:

POST /UA/SampleServer HTTP/1.1

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;

Content-Length: nnnn

An example HTTP response header is:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;

Content-Length: nnnn

The Message body is the request or response structure encoded as an ExtensionObject in OPC UA Binary. The Authorization header is only used for Session-less Service calls (see 7.4.2).

POST /UA/SampleServer HTTP/1.1 Authorization : Bearer <base64-encoded-token-data>

Content-Type: application/opcua+uabinary;
