Windows script to turn network rule ON or OFF in UTM SG 125

Question

Hi, 
 we have Sophos UTM SG 125 on site and a bunch of servers behind. Those servers use LetsEncrypt certificates, which need to renew via HTTP... 
 ...but HTTP is CLOSED on UTM, and I want it to stay closed for security reasons. 
 So, I will make a Windows Batch or PS script, which will temporarily turn the HTTP rule ON (on SG 125), renew certificates, then turn that rule back OFF. 
 
 I cee there's RestAPI available. But it looks like a ton of installs to be made on my servers, like curl and such, which I do not want to install... 
 Is there some easier method to switch firewall rule ON/OFF inside local network?

You can use Powershell to use the Restful API.

 https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/tutorials/how-to-make-http-basic-request-twilio-powershell 
 So basically you do not need to install anything on your Server, simply use the method in Powershell. 
 There are couple of ways to interact with a HTTPs based API like Restful.
