SSL and WebService

Hi all.

If I call a service from IIS server (while preparing simple http page
response) with https in url, like https://somesite.com/service.asmx, and
there is a proper SSL certificate on that www.somesite.com server, will SSL
be enforced? I don't think so, because this https request will not be made
by browser but I'm not sure. If not, how can I ensure the secure connection
with that somesite.com server when calling its web service? .NET
documentation is not clear on this.

Thanks for any help!!

It will use SSL yes, but the user can remove the s from https and still access it unsecurely. To
enforce it, look in the IIS settings for that applicatino and you can tell IIS to only allow SSL
access.
