Accessing web service

Hello,

I hope I'm hoping posting this in the correct place. I've got an asmx web
service and another guy created a client app that we distribute to customers.
We seem to be having some trouble with customers accessing the service who
are behind firewalls or are using proxy servers.

Is there a way to detect their settings so we can avoid this problem? I
don't have a great deal of experience accessing web services, so any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

I guess the proxy servers cache responses. You can add an unused random
parameter to the end of the URL to full the servers. Like
http://yourwebsite/yourwebservice.asmx?temp=randomtext

Hi I have some problems accessing a soap service made in c# using an ATL/MFC client over SSL. I have tried both CSoapMSXMLInetClient and CSoapWininetClient as template arguments with my stub class. The service is returning with the error code: -2147467259. I have not succeeded to find any additional information about the error. The "SoapFault" method seems to return only a bunch of question marks.

I have built a web service whose purpose is to copy files from a secure place to client machine and vice versa. The problem I am having is perhaps related to permissions and access rights. For testing purposes, the secure place is setup on the client machine. The client (window app) calls the web service (on a different machine) and connects successfully to the web service. However, when client calls a method that copies the file from...
