Hi,

I would like to make the ASMX test page available to potential consumers of
the service. However the test page says “The test form is only available for
requests from the local machine.” Is their anyway to open the test page to
other machines? And is their any security reason for not doing this?

Many thanks

you caon't do this basically because it would be a security risk in certain
scenarios but you can use this tool for remote testing
