Kornél, I am making progress. You code seems to work well, I've just got to tidy it a bit.
You asked me to report a bug if a change in the Web.config is not respected by mod_mono without a restart. I think I have a candidate for a bug: I have added this to Web.config: <system.web> <webServices> <protocols> <remove name="Documentation"/> </protocols> </webServices> .... .... .... <system.web> This is not respected without a restart. But otherwise works well. -----------<>------------ Secondly. For use of other members, I have found this great code snipit for Global.asax: protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) { string requestPath = Request.RawUrl.Trim().ToLower(); if (!my_static_global_flag) { if (requestPath.IndexOf("?wsdl") > 0 || requestPath.IndexOf("?disco") > 0) throw new HttpException(404, "Access Denied."); } } This also helps give me good control over visibility of my webservices. -----------<>------------ Thanks for the help, Ben Kornél Pál wrote: > Hi, > > I attached a reference implementation in > OptionalDiscoveryRequestHandler.cs. > > You can control it using the internal > OptionalDiscoveryRequestHandler.EnableDiscovery field. > > The only thing you have to do is to compile the handler to a DLL (don't > require it's own assembly, you can put into any existing assembly) and > reference this type in Web.config instead of > System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryRequestHandler. > > Kornél > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Clewett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Kornél Pál" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <mono-list@lists.ximian.com> > Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 7:05 PM > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Webservise Discovery Language > > >> Kornél, >> >> I am very exited about your suggestion, I think this is exactly what >> I'm looking for. >> >> But this level of experience is way about my knowledge.
