James, I believe you need both. StandardHttpContextMap caches request information between a pair of HandleHttpRequest and HandleHttpResponse processors and the StandardSSLContextService provides server side encryption of the HTTPS connection.
I don't think you mentioned a HandleHttpResponse processor, do you have one to provide the web service response? If not, look at "Hello_NiFi_Web_Service" template on the Example Dataflow Templates <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Example+Dataflow+Templates> page.
