  Cause
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect HTTP Destination Configuration: The HTTP destination may not be set up to use SSL, or the URL may not start with https://.

  Network Issues: There may be network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the destination over HTTPS.

  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check HTTP Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).

  Ensure that the destination is configured to use HTTPS (the URL should start with https://).
  Verify that the "SSL" checkbox is checked in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Install SSL Certificates:
  
  If SSL is required, ensure that the necessary SSL certificates are installed in the SAP system.
  You can use transaction STRUST to manage SSL certificates.
  Import the required certificates into the appropriate SSL client or server PSE (Personal Security Environment).
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After making changes, test the connection from the HTTP destination in transaction SM59.
  Ensure that the connection is successful and that there are no SSL-related errors.
  
  
  
  Check Network Configuration:
