> Just wondering... if the HTTPPost from the WebService is removed, how will
it receive the SOAP-Requests?
That will not prevent the web service to receive HTTP POST messages. SOAP
messages are HTTP POST messages indeed, but the content is different. See
samples below.
The following is a sample SOAP 1.1 request.
Message header:
POST /WebSite/AboutMe.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: ...
SOAPAction: "http://fabioscagliola.com/webservices/GetMyFavoriteBook"
Message body:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetMyFavoriteBook xmlns="http://fabioscagliola.com/webservices/" />
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The following is a sample HTTP POST request.
Message header:
POST /WebSite/AboutMe.asmx/GetMyFavoriteBook HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: ...
Message body:
EMPTY
