request format is unrecognized

[Dave]

running server 2003, .net 1.1, developing with vs 2003. i have a simple one
function webservice that takes 4 string inputs. calling it with http post
from simple form made by cutting out the demo page made from vs 2003. it
works fine on the server itself, but when accessed from another machine it
comes back with:

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is
unrecognized.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the
current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the
exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

i haven't installed the server components of vs 2003, not sure if i want to
as this server is exposed to the world. i have tried playing with
permissions and got it messed up enough now that anonymous access doesn't
work for that site at all(but that is another problem i hope). i have even
tried commenting out all my code so it didn't do anything which didn't help.
any ideas where to start looking?

something simple must be wrong here... i have backed up all the way to about
what the 'hello world' demo app does and still get the error from the remote
machine. i have created my own app pool, played with different accounts for
both the app pool and web site authentication, and still get this. what
else would cause this error from a remote computer but it works ok on the
server.

yep, too simple. finally found how to enable get/post from remote machines
in web.config.
