Webservice to allow access only over HTTPS

[sureshcd10]

We are working on a .NET 1.1 and we are required to restrict access to a webservice over HTTP and allow access only over HTTPS.We found that this can be done via Source code implementation i.e. to check the incoming request is on Secure communication or not? Any other suggestions.

You could simply configure the virtual directory under IIS to only allow https connections - would that not be enough?
