Trying to set the protocol to https by using the --protocol=https flag does not work.

$ rest-bench --api-host=hostname --protocol=https --bucket=bench --access-key=$S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID --secret=$S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY --show-time --seconds 120 write
host=hostname
bad protocol
usage: rest-bench [options] <write|seq>
       rest-bench [options] cleanup <prefix>

Looking at the source, the reason is clear:

rest_bench.cc lines 702-710:

 } else if (ceph_argparse_witharg(args, i, &proto_str, "--protocol", (char*)NULL)) {
      if (strcasecmp(proto_str.c_str(), "http") == 0) {
        protocol = S3ProtocolHTTP;
      } else if (strcasecmp(proto_str.c_str(), "http") == 0) {
        protocol = S3ProtocolHTTPS;
      } else {
        cerr << "bad protocol" << std::endl;
        usage_exit();
      }

The second if block on line 705 compares to "http" again instead of "https".
