With AFNetworking I have successfully consumed https webservice with below code,

NSString *aStrServerUrl = WS_URL;

// Initialize AFHTTPRequestOperationManager...
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

[manager.requestSerializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
manager.securityPolicy.allowInvalidCertificates = YES; 
[manager POST:aStrServerUrl parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
    successBlock(operation, responseObject);

} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
    errorBlock(operation, error);
}];
