Sync Framework: Can you sync over http

Question

We are planning to use Sync Services for ADO.NET to sync stores with headoffice and it has been suggested that I sync via a WCF proxy.

Does syncing via a WCF proxy mean that I will be able to sync over http? If not, is it possible to use sync services to sync via http.

(I do not want to update our firewall every time we get a new store that needs to sync with the headoffice -- that is why I want to sync via http).

Answer 1

Yes, WCF implments both SOAP and REST webservices, either can which can be exposed over http or http/s.

Here's some documentation from MSDN on WCF.

We always use http/s (SSL), even inside our LAN.
