Is it possible to access the Bing VEGeocoder using HTTPS? My web and GIS servers both use HTTPS but the VEGeocoder uses HTTP, even though the Bing basemaps use HTTPS? Any help is appreciated.
i've logged a defect with regard to this problem. [NIM094284: Bing address locator always uses HTTP]
in the meantime, you could use a technique similar to what is described in the forum thread Vinay linked to to manually update the url for the request in your code.
esriRequest.setRequestPreCallback(myCallbackFunction);
...
function myCallbackFunction(ioArgs) {
if (ioArgs.url == "http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/veadaptor/production/services/geocode/geocode") {
ioArgs.url = "https://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/veadaptor/production/services/geocode/geocode";
}
// don't forget to return ioArgs.
return ioArgs;
}

var locator = new VEGeocoder({bingMapsKey: 'yourkeyhere'}); locator._url.path = locator._url.path.replace("http", "https");
