How to consume REST queries behind password?

Hi all,

I am new to NOSQL and I am trying out CB 2.0 DP4 with .net client, and I find couchbase is very simple and fast. Can anybody please clarify the following:

a. how to protect port 8092 with password? for eg.,
http://192.168.56.101:8092/test/_design/log/_view/vtransferlog_group_by_...

is a query which a person with knowledge of couchbase and viewname can view the data, how to protect it?.

b. Is there any compression for transmitting the data over REST?

c. And lastly how to configure the server for https.

Thanks
JKN
