Handling HTTPS request in windows phone 7

Question

We have ASP.Net generic handlers that support HTTPS requests only.

Example: https://{domainname}/userservice/getfriends.ashx

Please suggest a solution for processing the https requests in Winows Phone 7.1 using HttpWebRequest. When I am binding the https images (for example https://{domainname}/userserivce/23232.jpg only), it's raising the error.

What kind of error do you get? Do you check it on the device or on the emulator? The emulator doesn't support https protocol. — Anton Sizikov, Sep 10 '12 at 12:42
does the domain have a valid SSL certificate? If not, it won't work unless you import the certificate. — William Melani, Sep 10 '12 at 16:14

Is your SSL certificate signed by a Root Certification Authority trusted by Windows Phone (example: Verisign) or is it a self-signed certificate?

If it's not from a valid trusted root certification authority, export the signing root certificate, send it by email to the device, and then install the certificate; check this answer for more info.
