     * Note, enabling validation will have a performance penalty, especially if the API heavily uses regex based checks.
 
+### Enabling HTTPS/TLS Support
+
+By default, only HTTP support is included. To enable HTTPS, add the `client-tls` feature:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+{{{packageName}}} = { version = "{{{packageVersion}}}", features = ["client-tls"] }
+```
+
+**For server with callbacks that need HTTPS:**
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+{{{packageName}}} = { version = "{{{packageVersion}}}", features = ["server", "client-tls"] }
+```
+
+The TLS backend is automatically selected based on your target platform:
+- **macOS, Windows, iOS**: Uses `native-tls` (system TLS libraries)
+- **Linux, Unix, other platforms**: Uses `openssl`
+
+This ensures the best compatibility and native integration on each platform.
+
 See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-features-section for how to use features in your `Cargo.toml`.
