Hi,

I'm beginner on WebServices, I have developed an WebService with some
methods.
I have used vs2005 to build the web application and Microsoft Web Deployment
project to compile the web application to publish on the web site.
When I call the method Login using a post form on my computer (localhost)
work fine, but when I can try to call the webservice locate on company web
site I have this error:
Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/Login'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is
unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/Login'.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the
current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the
exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

unexpectedly ending in '/Login'.]

I call from this html form:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml"
href="http://site/dir1/dir2/WebServices/ServicesWS.asmx?disco" />
</head>
<body>
<form target="_blank"
action='http://site/dir1/dir2/WebServices/ServicesWS.asmx/Login'
method="POST">
<table cellspacing="0" frame=box width=400px>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Login</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td >Account:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="account"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>password:</td>
<td><input type="password" name="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" colspan=2><input type="submit" value="Invoke"
class="button"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</html>

Is possible calling the webservice throw a post form or not?
If no, How I do to calling the webservice?

Thanks in advance

Simon

hi simon... your problem sourcing from url that you're using...
http://site/dir1/dir2/WebServices/ServicesWS.asmx/Login is invalid
webservice method call url...

you have to use
http://site/dir1/dir2/WebServices/ServicesWS.asmx?op=webmethodname
its mean for example...
http://site/dir1/dir2/WebServices/ServicesWS.asmx?op=login

good works.....
