# HTTP(S)

The HTTP(S) integration allows Plakar to use an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint as a Kloset store backend. Its used to connect to a Kloset store exposed by `plakar server`. The integration is pre-installed in Plakar `v1.1.0` and later and requires no additional setup. The integration provides one connector:

| Connector type    | Description                                                  |

| Storage connector | Host a Kloset store on any HTTP or HTTPS accessible endpoint |

# List snapshots in the store
$ plakar at http://example.com/data ls
```

| Option     | Required | Description                                                              |
