Q: 

How to implement WSDL protocol as in ASP.NET Web Service?

I am implementing a simple Web Service Server.

At first I thought the request ?WSDL would be sufficient to for Web Service clients.

If I add a Web Service Reference in visual studio to the project there are some additional requests made.

  1. GET ?WSDL
  2. POST ?WSDL
  3. GET ?WSDL/$metadata

Because my server fails to respond correctly to steps 2 and 3 the client cannot use the web service just yet.

Are the steps 2 and 3 documented somewhere?

What should my server respond to requests named in steps 2 and 3?
