constraints in accessing a ssl enabled wcf rest service from jquery

Question

I have a wcf rest service. I want to know what are the constraints involved or rather the plumbings required in accessing the service from jquery using $.ajax function.

Answer 1

If you consume the SSL services from a non-SSL client, then users may run into browser security issues since this then becomes a cross domain security issue. There are many resources online if you search for cross domain ajax requests. Ajax using https on an http page is one such resource with some suggested approaches for working around the issue.

If you are consuming the SSL WCF rest services from a client that is also running under the same SSL domain, there shouldn't be anything unique that is required for you to get it to work.
