ats http url required in the app

Just wondering if anyone has come across a scenario similar to the below.

We will shortly be looking to submit our app for beta testing (via TestFlight) and are currently required to use ‘http' for our image server (mainly due to speed, but other internal reasons too).

Are there any special circumstance were Apple would allow the use of ‘http’ for either an AppStore or TestFlight beta release given that this is only being used to download images from our image server?


Thanks in advance for anyones comments
