38 +You will need to add additional information to the file server.wsdd to tell Apache AXIS what to do when it believes the transport mechanism is 'https.' AXIS will make the transport mechanism determination based on the HTTP header information sent to your application by the Apache WebObjects adaptor (which may include: HTTPS:on and SERVER_PORT:443). If no entry is made to tell AXIS how to handle 'https', it will assume the incoming data from the adaptor is encrypted via SSL, even though the communication between the adaptor and the instance is actually in the clear. To change the behavior of AXIS to handle these cases in the same way as http connections, change the file server.wsdd from:
