Howto ignore SSL certificate error in WebService request?

Question: I have written a console program that uses the SQL server 2005 web service to upload reports to SQL Server 2005 reporting service (so that I don't have to upload 100 reports by hand everytime).

It works fine locally, and remotely. But now, the problem is one server uses SSL so rs.Url = "https://hostname/ReportServer/reportservice2005.asmx

the problem now is the SSL certificate is invalid... I can access the reportserver from the browser however by ignoring this error. How can I do that with the webservice?

            If Not (rsWarnings Is Nothing) Then
                Dim warning As Warning
                For Each warning In rsWarnings
                    Console.WriteLine(warning.Message)
                Next warning
            Else
                Console.WriteLine("Report: {0} created successfully with no warnings", strReportName)
            End If

        Catch ex As System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException

    End Sub ' End Function CreateThisReport

You can do this by registering a delegate with ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback that returns true. If the delegate returns true all certificates (valid as well as invalid) will be accepted.
