Hello list, the SOAP logicsheet (at least of Cocoon 2.0.4) does not make secure HTTP connections. To enable secure connections the Construction of the HttpConnection object in SOAPHelper class has to be changed. A hint for the patch can be found on the bottom of this page http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=SOAPLogicsheet I think "real life" webservices use https. So please fix it! Thank you Christoph
