Calling webservice using proxy authentication

[jonathan Cook]

I have written a .NET client which calls a webservice. I've added
functionality in which allows authentication through a proxy. When
sending a GET request this works but when I do a POST I get a
connection time out. I've run a trace and the authentication side of
things is working I think. I get an ack back from the web server.

I'm stumped as to why this is happening, the code works without the
proxy when doing a POST.

Any ideas? I can post the code here if you think it would be useful.

Thanks
Jon

Re: Calling webservice using proxy authentication

In asp.Net you can configure to the methods allowed to call a WS. Check you
configuration to make sure that you didn't turn it off. The web.config might
have a setting like

<webservices>
<protocols>
<remove verb="Post">
</protocols>
........

Just a thought. Could be a red herring.
