WebServices: INFO: HTTP GET and HTTP POST Are Disabled by Default

INFO: HTTP GET and HTTP POST Are Disabled by Default

This article discusses changes in the .NET Framework 1.1 that affect the HTTP GET method and the HTTP POST method on a Web server. This article also describes workarounds for this new functionality.

The .NET-connected Web services support HTTP GET, HTTP POST and SOAP protocols. By default, in .NET Framework 1.0, all three protocols are enabled. By default, in .NET Framework 1.1, HTTP GET and HTTP POST are both disabled. This is for security reasons.
