Hi,

i do have a Web-Service which is running with HTTP actually. This is ok an shall not be changed.

In some new cases we need SSL-Conncention for the same function (Web-Service).

Can i use the same Web-Service simply using SSL?

That means:

is a Web Service upward compatible concerning SSL?

Thanks.

Hello "H.R.",

Other than possible effects from certificates expiring, I don't think there would be any difference in your webservice functionality for the user experience.

What did occur to me, is that somebody (e.g. the SLL-connected user on the browser side) could be able to simply delete the s from the URL, or would need to for Basic Authentication if that is what you use?

Regards,

Julius
