Webservice within a custom solution

I have a webservice in my custom solution located at /webservice/webservice.asmx.

This URL I can access without problem.

I can access the functions in the webservice like so: /webservice/webservice.asmx?op=HelloWorld

But when I invoke the function like so: /webservice/webservice.asmx?/HelloWorld I get the DW 404

How can I get around this problem?

Hi Rasmus,

Have you tried invoking the method like this:

/webservice/webservice.asmx/HelloWorld?Param1=Value2&Param2=Value2

It takes no params... it just returns "Hello World".

Even if I give it dummy params it has no effect.

/Edit:

Even if I request in my code on my dummy params it makes no difference.

Look at my example - you specify the name of the method right after the ".asmx" file extension, don't separate it with "?" character.

Sorry, that's how I write it as well, it is just a typo in the URL.

I call it like this:
/webservice/webservice.asmx/HelloWorld?Dummy=HelloWorld

Could it be the settings on my local machine?

Just going to test in on the production site.

Hi Rasmus,

Adding the following lines to the web.config helped me (just tried one of the standard Dynamicweb web-services):

<system.web>
  <webServices>
    <protocols>
      <add name="HttpGet" />
    </protocols>
  </webServices>
</system.web>

It didn't fix it on my local machine, it works on production though, so all is good.

Thanks
