Randy that indeed is a very good article but have some misleading information e.g. on Performing an SSL Connection in my point of view is missing important information when I read the article the impression that I had was that for making SOAP SSL connection my WSDL file should state https instead of http and so that means if I want to call my web service trough http or https then I need to have 2 WSDL one stating http and the other stating https but then I start doing some experiences and found that this is not the case.
The Httpconnector has a property called UseSSL by default false that can be set to true meaning that every call's done to that web service from now on will be made trough https.
I think that this information is relevant and should state in that document.
