HTTPS Get

[OEM_Dev]

I was previously using the Data Communication HTTP Client VIs to do a simple GET to a web service. The web service has changed recently from HTTP to HTTPS. 

Do I need to call the ConfigSSL VI now or can I simply change the address to https://sampleURL from http://sampleURL and still have encryption?

My simple testing shows that simply changing to https gives me the results I expect, but I'm wondering if this is actually using the SSL authentication? It just seems too easy that I can add the 's' and everything works automagically.

My understanding is that it should just work and that you only need the Config SSL if you need to a) verify the server's SSL certificate or b) authenticate yourself with the server as a client. My understanding could be wrong though!
