Web Services and SSL
-
If I have a Windows application that retrieves data using Web Services and I want the data to be secure can I access that Web Service in a Secure Socket using HttpS:// to provice data encryption? Example: Https://www.webservice.com/service.asmx It is my understanding that my Client the Windows app is accessing this in a Secure Socket therefore it is protected. Is that correct? Thanks Joe

Well It depends on 2 things. Are you using a browser to access the file? or is it internally acessed through an application? If through a browser then obviously it is encrypted. If your app gets the file and you arenot using the browser object then by default No it won't be encrypted. If you use the .Net browser object to collect the data then i think it will be fine as this object simply calls IE to do the work.
Brad Australian Have you tried Rebooting it?

thanks For the response this is the code in my Windows application.
WsProxy.FuturesXiServices proxy = new WsProxy.FuturesXiServices(); proxy.Url = this._url; WsProxy.AuditLogin[] items = proxy.AuditLoginProvider_GetAll(start, pageLength, out count); return Convert(items);So what you are saying is that this is not protected with encryption if the URL is https://...
