please help with webservice problem

[David]

When I call a webservice with an ASP.NET application, I get the following
error:

"The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote
server. "

With my brower, I can get the asmx page and get the expected output on the
page.

With a console application, I can call the webservice and retrieve from it
what I am supposed to retrieve.

Only when an ASP.NET application calls the web service, do I get the "the
underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server"
error message.

The only relevent msdn page
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;819450) isn't very
helpful. It says MS has confirmed it as a bug, and says to contact them
for a fix!!!! And there might be a charge! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The last time I contacted them, it was like talking to a wall.

Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

Is it possible that the ASP.NET account doesn't have permission to access
that Web service? IE and a console app would pass through your personal
authentication but not a process.

You might want to put the Web service in debug mode and set a break point so
you can step through and see just what the error message is.

I allow anonymous access to the webservice.

Apparently MS has identified it as a bug, but the fix it describes is rather
vague. Have you followed the link?

the bug in the article is about .net not correctly supporting keep-alives in
verion 1.0. you can upgrade to 1.1 for free or if you must stick with 1.0,
turn keep-alive off for the web site.

Hi David,

Are you using .NET 1.0 or 1.1? The article suggests it is a 1.0 problem.

At any rate, I'd phone MS Support and tell them you want the fix they are
advertising. You shouldn't be charged for a bug fix. Make sure you have the
KB article number handy.
