HTTP & HTTPS mashups, etc.

[LanceCrumbliss]

a few questions:

1) is it at all possible to somehow mashup layers from HTTP and HTTPS sources?

2) not sure if this is the same as question 1, but is it possible to host the silverlight mapping application on an HTTPS site and have that map use layers from HTTP mapservices or vice/versa?

3) further, is it possible to access a geometry service via HTTP from a silverlight mapping application hosted on an HTTPS site or does the geometry service have to be served up via HTTPS as well?

i apologize for my naivety; i'm quite new at site security.

i've got to believe someone at ESRI knows the answer to these questions.

I suggest you look at the two blogposts listed here, which talks about these things:
http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/silverlightwpf/archive/tags/https/default.aspx

Also the 3rd and 4th table on the MSDN pages gives you an idea of whats possible in Silverlight when mixing HTTP and HTTPS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645032(VS.95).aspx

thanks morten, i've seen both of those pages during my research.  i guess i was hoping for a more straight forward answer or example.  for this particular issue, the concepts are harder for me to grasp and an example in code or instruction would be very helpful.  i appreciate your reply.

No one? That's not really fair. There was an answer directing to a blogpost that goes in depth with this specifically for using with ArcGIS Server and the Silverlight API, and answers all 3 questions, as do the diagram I directed to. I don't know what else I could do or say that should make it clearer than the blogpost that specifically deals with this.
A code example doesn't really make any sense for these types of issues. There's not really anything in code that you can do. It's all about understanding web security and silverlight limitations.
