From the WSI 1.1. Basic Profile specification:
4.7.2 HTTP Transport
The profile limits the underlying transport protocol to HTTP.
R2702 A wsdl:binding element in a DESCRIPTION MUST specify the HTTP
transport protocol with SOAP binding. Specifically, the transport attribute
of its soapbind:binding child MUST have the value
"
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http".
Note that this requirement does not prohibit the use of HTTPS; See R5000.
http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1-2004-08-24.html#HTTP_Transport
I think this answers my question.

Hello all,
Do any of the actual WSI/WSDL specs specify that a particular web service
endpoint/client has to support HTTPS as a transport mechanism in order to be
fully compliant? Also, if HTTPS is called out in the spec, does it imply
that two-way SSL (mutual authentication) must also be supported?
