I recieved the following questions from a customer. Do we know how Neon will handle the call from a static html page to an SSL web service? I assume we will need a certificate on the device…wanted to see if the Neon team had any experience with this. We were wondering if there would be any problems with the cross-domain ajax call to our service?

Currently a static html file on the device will not access a SSL web service. To be able to access the WEB Service the originating page needs to be an HTTP protocol also the service on which the Web Service is running needs to allow cross domain access. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy for more details on cross domain security.
We don't have any specific experience, in general if it works on the desktop, it should work in RhoElements, do you have a specific example?
A more specific question was related to the inability in Pocket IE to disable a security popup from occurring each time a cross-domain access was made. Do you know if this is an issue with the webkit browser?
