Hi

I will soon be asked to develop an app that calls xml over http.
Its a MYSQL database on linux.

I guess this means making a call to a webservice that the dba/developer
provides ?
is this the same as taling to a .net webservice, i cant imagine it
would be as straight forward as making a reference to a webservice
developed in .net, that would be too easy.

Does anyone have any experience here, the issues/problems i need to be
aware of when costing this project?

On the security side, i guess as long as the server serves the xml data
from https then the calls to the webservice will be secure ?

Thanks for any help on this...
