TAP questions

[Patrick Dowler]

On the issue of switching protocols between http and https, I am
pretty sure that CADC services don't do that and I completely agree
that it is wrong at a web service layer level to do that. We do run
under both protocols (although https always requires client
certificate to authenticate) but we have a lot of tests to verify that
all protocols and authentication methods work correctly. However,
there are always people mucking with web server config and sticking up
load balancers and firewalls so it is possible that some sequence or
endpoint could be misbehaving. If you can send me an example I will
fix it.
