Accessing web service

[=?Utf-8?B?Tmljaw==?=]

Hello,

I hope I'm hoping posting this in the correct place. I've got an asmx web
service and another guy created a client app that we distribute to customers.
We seem to be having some trouble with customers accessing the service who
are behind firewalls or are using proxy servers.

Is there a way to detect their settings so we can avoid this problem? I
don't have a great deal of experience accessing web services, so any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

Re: Accessing web service

I guess the proxy servers cache responses. You can add an unused random
parameter to the end of the URL to full the servers. Like

http://yourwebsite/yourwebservice.asmx?temp=randomtext
