Hi,

I'm implementing a web service (server side) and wanted to know if the
axis2/c simple HTTP server supports HTTPS?

I haven't been able to find anything that says it can't, but the only
information I have found for HTTPS on the server side seems to talk
about deploying a full Apache web server.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

PS. I'm new to Axis2/C and am using 1.6.0 at present. Have gotten a
service & client working using HTTP already, with the axis2_http_server.

Thanks for your help,
Daniel Blake

Hi,
I am using axis2c-unofficial (https://code.google.com/p/axis2c-unofficial/) which is based on 1.6.0, and adds JSON support.
This version supports ssl, at least that is what I see from ./configure help. I have not used it though.

Yes, I have seen similar documentation on the web that recommends use of Apache web server, which I did not want to in this particular case.

Thanks and Best Regards,
GPN

Thanks, I'll look into whether axis2c-unofficial has a simple server with
SSL support, otherwise will look into deploying with a full Apache server
if necessary (but would rather keep things simpler than that).

Hi

For what I remember the simple server doesn't support SSL.

So you need to deploy the full Apache web server.

Anyway, the simple server is only recommended for testing purpose. For
production environment Apache is more secure and reliable.
