JavaScript client for Restful webservice with SSL

Question

I want to connect to a Java Restful webservice that uses SSL from a Javascript client. I could write standalone Java client that connects to the keystore and imports the certificates and could connect successfully. How can I achieve the same thing using Javascript, XMLHttpRequest. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. But, to make a SSL asynchronous request against a server with JavaScript, the only change you need to make is to use https in your RESTful target URL instead of http.
