Hi Richard.

Where you say "be configure to" and "respond to", do you mean "be 
configured to only" and "respond only to"?

> The scheme of a location URI determines whether or not TLS is used on a given dereference transaction.  Location Servers MUST be configured to issue HTTPS URIs and respond to HTTPS dereference request, unless confidentiality and integrity protection are provided by some other mechanism.  For example, the server might only accept requests from clients within a trusted network, or via an IPsec-protected channel.  Dereference clients MUST support dereference of HTTPS URIs and SHOULD support dereference of HTTP URIs.
