- Does Mac provides a way to send SOAP streams over an HTTPS connection?
The WebServicesCore framework will let you do that. To do HTTPS,
just pass an "https" URL to WSMethodInvocationCreate.

Be aware that WebServicesCore has not had a lot of love since it was
originally introduced in Mac OS X 10.2. We've fixed the odd bug here
and there (for example, in 10.5 we fixed <rdar://problem/4785251>
"Can't set HTTPS proxy"), but there are plenty of bugs outstanding
)-: Also, the design is rather limiting, for example...
- Can that connection be verified with a standard server certificate?
I believe that the connection will be verified with the certs built
in to Mac OS X. If you want anything more complex, you might need to
look beyond WebServicesCore. One of the fundamental limitations of
its design is that it doesn't give you access to the underlying
transport stream. So, for example, there's no way you could set up a
particular certificate on the connection.
