HTTPS AND .Net

[Saeid Bagheri]

Dear Friends
Recently our business partner asked our company to send financial
informations in XML format to their defined URL address, its a kind of EDI.
They also told us that transfer protocol should be HTTPS and it needs
certificates.
Now i want to develope an application to exctract data from database and
convert it to XML and then send it by using HTTPS.
The problem is that i never have exprince in order to use Certificates and
also dont know how to make an SSL connection to their side.
At all i want to know how it is possible to send a XML file through HTTPS.

Please urgently help me, thanks in advance.

Hello,

if you are just sending the XML, just use the HttpWebRquest (or WebService,
doesn't matter) and set the url - the HttpWebRequest does all the magic.

A Certificate is only required on the server you are sending to - unless you
are doing authenticatoin via certificates - but that has nothing to do with
HTTPS.
