This is a security feature. If you want to allow everybody outside of
the local machine to access the test page, you must explicitly enable
HTTP GET and POST protocols in web.config,

- - - web.config (partial)
<configuration>
<!-- . . . -->
<system.web>
<!-- . . . -->
<webServices>
<!-- . . . -->
<protocols>
<!-- . . . -->
<add name="HttpGet" />
<add name="HttpPost" />
<!-- . . . -->
</protocols>
<!-- . . . -->
</webServices>
<!-- . . . -->
</system.web>
<!-- . . . -->
</configuration>
- - -

This should not be done unless you have other security measures
(firewalls, private network, etc.) in place to prevent unauthorized
users from making HTTP requests to the machine in question.
