title: Bypass invalid SSL certificate errors when calling web services in .Net
body: <p>We are setting up a new SharePoint for which we don't have a valid SSL certificate yet. I would like to call the Lists web service on it to retrieve some meta data about the setup. However, when I try to do this, I get the exception:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The nested exception contains the error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is correct since we are using a temporary certificate.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how can I tell the .Net web service client (<em>SoapHttpClientProtocol</em>) to ignore these errors? </p>
