They can determine that by watching the network traffic, can't they ?

[flexcoders] denying GETs on .NET WSDL web service file...

2007-04-12 Thread scott_flex

Has anyone, as part of their web service security, attempted to deny 
the verb get on their web services but still be able to call them in 
their actionscript code?

Ionly only have one client (flex app) that will call my web services, 
and part of the security, as I have done in the past, is deny any GETs 
on the WSDL file so someone can't easily determine all the methods 
exposed.  I will be calling these services via SSL as well.

However, when i call the load WSDL file, it obviously fails since that 
operation is a GET.  All method calls are POSTS, so they'll/should work.

Is this a situation where I would use a Proxy... just define the web 
service interface in my flex app... or am i required to always expose 
the wsdl file to my flex app?

Thanks for any help!
