Configure IIS7.5 to allow calls to asmx web services.
- by goodeye
Hi,
I migrated a site from IIS6 to Windows Server 2008 R2 IIS7.5. It has an asmx web service, which is working fine locally, but returns this 500 error when called from another machine:
Request format is unrecognized for URL
unexpectedly ending in /myMethodName
The solution in previous versions is to add this to the web.config for the protocols needed (typically omitting HttpGet for production):
<system.web>
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet" />
<add name="HttpPost" />
<add name="HttpSoap" />
</protocols>
</webServices>
</system.web>
This is posted everywhere, including http://stackoverflow.com/questions/657313/request-format-is-unrecognized-for-url-unexpectedly-ending-in
For IIS7.5, this throws a configuration error; I understand this section doesn't belong, but tried it anyway. I also boiled down the asmx call to a simple hello world. I tested with POST also, just to eliminate any issues with GET.
What is the equivalent for IIS7.5? - either web.config format or the UI button to push would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Bob
