<Protocols> (Web.config) setting for WebService

[Anand]

Hi,
I have a webservice at root folder <Root> and have webservices at child
folders <ChildA>, <ChildB> etc...

If i comment out the <Protocols> tag itself (note its not the elements
HttpGet,HttpPost,SOAP) in Root Folder's web.config but not in the Child
folders' web.config files, does it have an impact on applications making use
of the webservices in Child folders?

Does the web.config setting at root have any cascading impact on subfolder
web.config settings even though sub folders still have <Protocols> tag
enabled for HttpPost and HttpGet?

Any comments will be appreciated.

thanks
Anand
