[Nsi-wg] Please begin testing

Hello All,

I am also for http. Getting https done (configuration, certificates exchange with each other and certs signed by some well-known CAs) will take some time that we could devote to interop testing.

Hi all,

I also agree with Tomohiro and Radek.
HTTPS issue is critical for demo.  When it does not work, we can't show both control and data plane demonstration.

We should spend our time for interoperability of SC WSDL, data plane connections, and visualization.  We have only less than two weeks.

Best regards,
Takahiro

We still do not have HTTPS and can’t talk with DRAC at NetherLight, who is direct peer and GEANT related NRENS way to US and Japan. It's critical for us. I would appreciate if for SC demo we could use HTTP mode as well.
