HTTP Distribution Point Errors?

Error: The script could not be found on the server.

Thats the error I am getting. I never had HTTP enabled always just AFP/SMB. Once I enable this nothing works. I noticed permissions on the CasperShare were No Read for Everyone so I changed it to read. I can now download a file by manually typing in the address however Casper is still throwing errors. When HTTP is disabled everything is perfect! What benefits am I missing by not having HTTP enabled and what am I missing? The symlinks are good and everything per JAMF's KB article :(

HTTP is simply a third protocol you can use for your distribution point.

In some networks HTTP is allowed where AFP or SMB are not: an
Internet-facing server, for example. I believe HTTP is also required for
Casper's resumable downloads feature.

If AFP and/or SMB are working fine for you then I'd stick with those.

Resumable dloads would be 1 bonus.

But at a trade off with speed.
