Web Service and SSL

[Looch]

Hi All,

If I've configured a site on my web server (running IIS 5.0) to
require SSL, when I add a web service in Visual Studio 2005 (C#
Express) and use https://...in the URL when adding the service, will
the windows app I'm building automatically use SSL when calling the
web service or is there something I'd have to manually add to the
code? (i.e. how do windows apps handle SSL for consuming web
services?)

Thanks in advance.

Looch,

When you create a proxy to the website, it should use the HTTPS scheme,
so you shouldn't have anything to worry about (assuming you are publishing
the metadata on HTTPS as well, which if you are creating a web service in
ASP.NET, it should).
