    I want a web secure web service that needs a username and password.

    If I use HTTPS can I securely tranmsit the username and password in the exposed method?

    With 'exposed method', do you mean https://username:password@www.domain.com?

    I do it like that with NuSoap using the setCredentials class.

    My calls stay on the same server though and aren't particularly sensitive.

    I mean if the exposed method actually took the username and password as variables...

    Method1('Username', 'Password', 'some other variable')
