Hi folks. Client has SSL, do I put https or http or none and just www._____.com?

Ok, so just www._______.com ?
When I do that, and hit ok, going back and it put its own http:// before it.
Well, add https://www_____.com to override it.
I usually add my sitemap.xml using an on-line service and FTP, bypassing nanny Xara.

I'm willing to be shot down here...but...
I go with the https://name-of-site.whatever. This brings up https:// prefix when someone types the site name directly into the address bar. Using www returns http://.
I could be wrong. I quite often am.
Chris,
Yes and no, it all depends what is programmed at the remote end.
I have this in my .htaccess at my root www folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.mysite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
</IfModule>
This forces HTTPS and adds www if it is missing. Writing http://www.mysite.com or mysite.com brings up https://www.mysite.com every time.
behzad was asking if it mattered what was written in the Xara Website URL section. Whatever you write there reflects in the sitemap.xml. The bit I'm vague on is if that affects the way the URL is handled if typed directly into the address bar without any http prefix.
Editing, or creating, an .htaccess will ensure https is enforced provided you have an SSL certificate with your hosting.
Very informative. I even wonder if we need xara to create a site map, since google may already do that.
Care to tell me what that external service is?
