Using https with the Client API

I am wanting to develop a couple of tools that using the Vault Client API. I started working through the tutorial at http://weblogs.asp.net/jeremy_sheeley/. However, I can't get my code to login to Vault, I get a System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException with the message "1021 : " when the myClient.Login(hostname, username, password); line gets executed. The only difference I have from the tutorial is that I am using https instead of http. Should it be possible to login to Vault using https rather than http when using the Client API?

Yes, you should be able to login with Https. Are you using the -ssl parameter in the connection string? You may also need to specify the port if you're not using the default 443.

If the vault service is located at https://hostname/VaultService, what should the connection string for this look like? How can this be used in the login method for a ClientInstance?
