Plain HTTP Adapter vs SOAP Adapter with regards to SSL

Hi,

I need to setup communication channles within XI to send and receive secure xml. I am confused after reading the XI documentation and the some of the discussion forums on SDN.

Can anyone clarify the following:

1) Does the plain HTTP Adapter support SSL? According to the XI documentation is does NOT? Have I miss read it?

2) This being the case, the only way to send and receive secure XML is to use the XI/SOAP Adapter?

Thanx for your help.

Cheers
