Allow Spectrum Protect web GUI to support SSL

After we upgraded SP from version 7.1 to 8.1.3 we lost the possibility to restore NAS filer via web GUI.
We need to get back the feature to restore NAS filespaces via web GUI (or if you implement that the thick BA client can do the same operation). When backing up many and large volumes from NAS filers with NDMP and using TOC files for index it's not a funny job to restore files or folders via CLI. The GUI interface is a must when doing granular file restores deep down in the filesystem trees from specific point in time.

    Hi,
    Is this request really a duplicate of: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=105691

    I need to get the webclient back in the 8.1.3 release and later. I would prefer that it supports HTTPS, but HTTP is also fine by me. This is to be able to browse NDMP backups with .TOC files.
    If it is easier to implement the same functianlity in the native client this is also fine!

    Thanks!
