I'm sure there's an elegant solution to the problem but I just can't get my head around it. I am trying to call a web service from within a Windows service. The web service is secured (using Windows authentication). The account that the windows service runs under does have the rights to call the web service but I can't figure out how to ...

PHP makes this sort of thing dirt simple but I'd like to know how other languages do it. To standardize on a simple example, how would you implement the following webservice to sum a list of numbers: http://server.com/sum?summands=LIST where LIST is a list of space-separated real numbers. For example, http://server.com/sum?summands...
Hi, long time ago I wrote webservice that is still in use. Now I plan to refacture it. The webservice is full of most likely unused functions and I have no idea how it is used by the clients. In order to strip away the unused functions I need to analyze the function calls and data of currently installed webservice. Is there a (free/ope...

I have a flag attribute enumeration that is behind a web service as follows: [Serializable,Flags] public enum AccessLevels { None = 0, Read = 1, Write = 2, Full = Read | Write } My problem is the consumer of my web service does not have the original constant values of the enum. The resulting proxy class client side has...

I am maintaining a public website (no authorization required) that uses web services over https to perform various operations. Most of the calls to the web services are invoked from javascript.

I'm attempting to refactor some moderately complex existing .NET code to be usable in Silverlight. The core issue is that all Silverlight web services calls must be asynch, and the existing code was implemented in a fairly typical synchronous manner. Existing call stack for a typical operation might be something like this: Page -> Get...
"Bottom up" or "top down"? First I used top down but I felt to much design options that didn't have any implementation or validation. Now my approach is "bottom up" heaven when a create a new service. Bottom-up: when you use the code to make the web-service. Top-Down: when you create and use the wsdl file to make the web-service and...
