sorry for posting this again here , I tried posing this in Ultralite group
and waited for couple of days

> ASA 9.0.0.1402

What is the real difference between HTTP/HTTPS syncronization from a
ultralite palm or pocketpc client when the app is using TLS security. As per
my understanding both HTTP/HTTPS needs certicom to implement TLS security.
Where is the real difference ?

Can somebody explain the difference ?

Thanks,
-John

The big difference is the protocol. One uses TCP/IP only, and the other
uses HTTP on top of TCP/IP.

HTTP has some advantages, since it allows us to synchronize through your
existing company's web server without punching any new holes in the
corporate firewall. MobiLink has native redirectors for various web
servers, IIS, Apache, iPlanet and so on.

David,

My question was difference between using HTTP and HTTPS with certicom with
Ultralite clients. To achive TLS with both HTTP and HTTPS we need certicom
so what is the real difference ?
