Protocol support for batching?

[AndreiVNita]

Hello! We have a backend that's processing batches of events. While I was doing some debugging locally, I noticed that if the delivery strategy is set to batching, specifying the protocol as 'http' doesn't have any effect, and the calls are still sent through HTTPS.
Once I disabled batching, specifying the protocol as 'http' started working.

AnalyticsBrowser.load(
      {
        writeKey: 'VALUE_NOT_REQUIRED',
        cdnURL: baseUrl,
        cdnSettings: { integrations: {['Segment.io']: {}}},
      },
      {
        integrations: {
          'Segment.io': {
            apiHost: baseUrl,
            protocol: "http",
            deliveryStrategy: {
              strategy: "batching",
              config: {
                size: 10,
                timeout: 5000
              }
            },
            addBundledMetadata: false
          }
        }
      }
    );

Is this by design or can something be done here to allow batches to go through http?
