Do I have to use WCF to talk securely to jQuery page

[szlamany]

I want to use jQuery $.Ajax calls to a web server running iis w/.net fw 3.5.

Seems that you have to use WCF to have an HTTPS: site using web services?

I'm confused after a lot of reading links - so any help clarifying this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi There,

I cant answer your query directly regarding https, but with regard to Jquery and the $.ajax call, this is how I have implemented it (perhaps this will start you off).

within the .aspx page I have the following code:

$.dimScreen(1, 0.4, function () {
                    $('#dimmer').fadeIn();
                    $.ajax({
                        type: "POST",
                        url: "Default.aspx/Process",
                        data: '{lockton: \'' + encodeURI(textArray) + '\',other: \'' + encodeURI(textArrayOther) + '\'}',
                        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                        dataType: 'json',
                        success: function (response) {
                            if (response != null && response.d != null) { alert(response.d); }
                            $.dimScreenStop();
                            location.reload(); },   /* Clear the screen of any completed files that have been moved */
                        error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { $.dimScreenStop(); }
                        
                    });
                });

You can see my $.ajax method calling the function Process passing data via 2 parameters using Json.

in the code behind aspx.cs file the function is declared:

[WebMethod, ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
        public static String Process(String lockton,String other)
        {.....

Also when using https ALL your references need to be set to HTTPS. i.e. <Script> tags in the header need to have their src set specifically to https.
