Answer 1

I assume it should be enough if you configure your HTTP server to allow SSL connections (have you done anything in this direction?) and then use it by simply connecting to "HTTPS" instead of "HTTP".

One more thing is that your app should check the validity of the certificate of the server - otherwise you are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
