"A JAR (Java ARchive) is a package file format typically used to aggregate many Java class files and associated metadata and resources (text, images, etc.) ... JAR files are archive files that include a Java-specific manifest file. They are built on the ZIP formatand typically have a . jar file extension."

The rest of file types are compiled and thus the reverse engineering process will be more complex.
In order to encrypt the traffic from/to a web server, the TLS protocol should be configured and enabled (to enable HTTPS). In order to do so, one needs to obtain a digital certificate (From a reputable Certificate Authority (CA) in order to being trusted in most web browsers and configure the web server to use the latest TLS protocol (in order to avoid bugs and vulnerabilities in old versions)
