Connection preferences
Background
The Connection preferences are a way to control precisely how to connect to the PlanetPress
Connect Server.
This preference page was added in Connect 2018.2 to simplify management of
HTTPcommunication with Connect. HTTPScommunication options were then added in
Connect 2021.1.
These preferences allow Connect inter-engine communication to occur on an alternate port,
reducing the chances of inter-engine communication being starved of connections when
running on a system that processes very large numbers of HTTP/HTTPS connections.
