http post + digital certificate required

Question

I want to post some xml to an external server and have been told that:

"The transmission protocol used is https (SSL). This requires that your initiating server has a valid digital certificate."

Where do I get one of these? I have a Thwate Personal Email Certificate but not sure if that would do?

Thanks,

Using HttpWebRequest, you shouldn't have a problem assuming that the server you are posting to is using a valid SSL certificate. Just give HttpWebRequest the https url and let it go.
