Hello,

I have a web application that doesn't use SSL at all. We need to
integrate it with another third party web application which only
offers secure web services. How can I connect to a web service that
is
https? Is it sufficient in VS 2005 to just create a reference to the
web service like any other web service? (https:// instead of http://)


Thank you
Maz.

Yep, thats right. You need to reference the webservice as "https://"
and it should work.
https (ssl) is nothing but transport layer encryption and webservice
accesss is the sames as http.

Another quick note, when you are accessing the https (ssl) you don't
need to have anything on ur client machine or browser but server side
you care about SSL certificate etc.

Cheers,
Amer
