SYMPTOMS
You configure the Outlook Web Services Location with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) address, which has the prefix https. When you attempt to access Web forms at the Web services location, you received an error message:

HTTP Error 404 URL Not Found

When you verify the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Web Services Location box, you see that Outlook has prepended "http:" to the URL, which renders it invalid.
