Interesting issue with a few Infopath forms. They’ve been working fine for ages using a WCF service to update another system.
When we changed our SharePoint site to use SSL, the form was generating an error when calling the WCF service. There were a number of factors at play:
Had an issue where a Data Form Web Part was calling a list service (asmx or svc) on a different site collection in order to expose data between the two sites.
It would work internally (using http), but once the page was loaded externally, we would get an error. Externally the site is loaded via https.
Trying the same page internally with https generated the same error.

Was trying to deploy an event receiver to a site collection and received the error “Only a site collection administrator can activate or upgrade.”
Problem was that the user I was logged on to the development server with to deploy the solution was not a site administrator.…
Had a problem with our drop down menus displaying a blue link and not working but only on Macs, and then not on all of them.
Turns out IIS is not correctly determining the user agent for later Macs. The fix is here:
