Possible to use HTTPS along with HTTP?

    Possible to use HTTPS along with HTTP?

    I am in need of a quick start in the WCF world.
    I have been told that it is possible to set up an http channel to use
    https, but after a couple of hours of reading I did not find anything
    that I could use.



    Under Framework 2.0 I have the following config section for remoting.

    <system.runtime.remoting>
    <application>
    <channels>
    <channel name="SoapClient" ref="http" port="5101"
    bindTo="10.51.10.70">
    <serverProviders>
    <formatter ref="soap" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
    <provider ref="wsdl"/>
    </serverProviders>
    </channel>
    </channels>
    </application>
    </system.runtime.remoting>


    Two questions
    1) - What is the direct translation from the above to a WCF style
    configuration?

    2) - If it is possible to do SSL authentication (https) over the
    channel in WCF, what has to be done.

    Thanks for you help

    To move from remoting to WCF , look at
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...57(vs.80).aspx.

    Changing endpoint binding in the config file from basicHttpBinding ( no by
    default security ) to WSHttpBinding already give you secure channel
