Use HTTPS to connect to MarkLogic host from ml-gradle

Question

How do I force ml-gradle to use HTTPS instead of HTTP to connect to a MarkLogic host?

I have something like following in my gradle.properties file:

mlHost=abc.xyz.aws.private

mlDeploy task calls the host using HTTP like this:

http://abc.xyz.aws.private

How can I force it to use HTTPS like this:

https://abc.xyz.aws.private

Note that following doesn't work:

mlHost=https://abc.xyz.aws.private

My MarkLogic host is on AWS. Version 10.0-9.

In version 3.0.0, you can setup a simple SSL context while connecting to the Manage and/or Admin app servers by setting the appropriate properties:

mlManageSimpleSsl=true
mlManageScheme=https
mlAdminSimpleSsl=true
mlAdminScheme=https
