.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / January 2006How to bind SoapHttpClientProtocol to certain local endpoint?
My web service client is running under ASP.NET in a web site, that has a different ip address than the local machine. When calling a web service, my client uses the ip address of the local machine, not the address of the web site. This is a problem, because later the remote endpoint uses the ip address that was used, and sends another soap call to that address, but there is no active web site at that address. Is it possible to bind SoapHttpClientProtocol to certain local endpoint? If not, how the incoming soap call could be redirected to the correct web site? Thanks, Harri You can set the Url property of the web service proxy at runtime, e.g. MyService myService = new MyService(); myService.proxy = "http://therealendpoint.com/webservice"; // TODO - read this from config In the above example MyService is autogenerated by adding a Web Reference, but it inherits from SoapHttpClientProtocol class. Are you sure that proxy sets the local endpoint of the web service? I really need to set the local endpoint of the socket that is used in soap http client call. Proxy sounds like it would be used as a proxy to access the remote endpoint. Sorry Harri, misunderstood you... .. I'm still not sure I get it... You have two computers, A & B, where B is running a webservice at http://B/MyService.asmx and A is a client of that web service. You can already configure A to talk to B at http://B/MyService.asmx but you also want to configure which port A uses? Right? Why? TCP/IP doesn't really work like that. A opens a connection with B, and B sends the data requested back down using that connection. Two reasons: I would like to use the ip address of the web site, because the ip address of the machine should not be visible. Also I would like to select the port that I use, so that firewall configuration would be easier. Hi Harri, With regards to hiding the IP, that kind of thing is down to your network setup and nothing to do with your code. I'm afraid I don't know how to control the port responses come back to when making web requests. I've never had any reason to try (but I doubt you can). Normally you just configure your firewall to allow connections to port 80 on the target server and the firewall will look after the connection back to the client (usually ports over 1200) for you.
