Duplicate: This is the exact same question, from the exact same person, as Issue with Incorrect URLs in the WSDL of a .NET Web Service, and has the exact same answer. Let’s please close this and merge it with the other.
We have installed an ASP.NET web site on a client’s server. This site has a web service with a couple of web methods that are called by a Flash object in order to display a news feed. If you browse to their site (ex: http://www.domain.com), everything’s working fine except the flash.
The issue is that when we browse to the .asmx, the header shows that the Host is a subdomain internal to their network (internal.domain.com). Obviously this doesn’t resolve to any public IP when browsing from outside of their network. This causes the Flash to fail since the flash object is embedded on a page and is therefore running client side.
I checked the computer name on the server in question, and it doesn’t even match “internal.domain.com” – it is something completely different. Where is it getting this information from. It is not coming from IIS, since we have no host headers set up, and the IP for the site is set to (all unassigned).
We either need to force the web service to run against a specific host, or we need to change something on the server so that it resolves to a valid public-facing host name. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Web service host names are usually configured in the web.config when being consumed by .NET. When they are being consumed by flash you might need to go looking in the flash file. (my guess is that it is still configured for some sort of SIT environment.
