I have a .NET 1.1 application which presently connects to backend web service over HTTP (plain socket). I would like to change this to connect the backend over HTTPS (secure socket). Limitations are, a) I can use wsdl.exe to create the client proxy. b) I can only change the endpoint URL in the proxy and can put something like https:// instead of http and, c) other than that, I can't change code anywhere on the client side to make HTTPS or SSL work.
Q) Is there a way that I can achieve my goal to connect to backend web service over HTTPS without changing any client side code?
Thanx in advance!
