    **Updated** the debug handlers on HTTP are now conditionally added based environment variable ENABLE_DEBUG_ON_HTTP.
    Setting "ENABLE_DEBUG_ON_HTTP" to false will not add debug handlers on HTTP ports and is recommended setting for
    production. In future releases, they will be replaced with "XDS-over-TLS" instead of exposing them on HTTP interface.
