Subject: NEW ISSUE: HTTP/HTTPS conflict resolution between policy assertion and WSDL


Title - HTTP/HTTPS conflict resolution between policy assertion and WSDL
 
Description - If the security policy assertion requires the use of HTTPS transport level security and WSDL port address uses HTTP scheme, what is the best practice guidance for requestors?
 
Target - WS-Policy Attachment 1.5? Primer?
 
Proposal - Not sure if I have an absolute proposal, but I'll get the ball rolling: I propose that if there is a conflict, that since presumably the policy authors are a better authority as to what policies should exist for a service, whereas the WSDL might have been automatically generated by a tool or a developer, the policy assertion takes precedence.
