is there a way for some one to sneak in the to see data if my service is over http and the caller in my case is hosted on http (i.e. service is on secure ssl host while caller is on simple http).
is that call secure or not?
Basic HTTP without any encryption or other means of obfuscating your content is just plain text going over the wire. Anyone with a bit of knowledge can trap that connection and just read everything that goes on.
I don’t quite understand what you mean by the server is on secure host but the client is not? Either the conversation between those two is secured by SSL / HTTPS (but then BOTH ends need to participate), or not. If not – it’s just clear text on the wire.
