Description

There are 2 main points here:

1. If we want to connect with a URL (http) we have to give the -use-http option as well as url. -use-http is really redundant here and should be deprecated and ultimately removed.
2. when connecting to the http service, the url (https or http) should have already indicated whether it's use-ssl or not, in this case, we should infer the value of use-ssl based on the protocol of the url.

Note: this is only for --url case. the --use-ssl should still need to be specified for jmx connection.
