Question

I could able to route the calls to WCF SOAP services using Routing Services in .NET 4.0
In the same way I need to route the request to WCF Data Services calls from one server to other server. Is it possible to achieve it using ASP.NET Routing module?

Answer 1

With REST based services, you’re relying on “raw” HTTP as your transport. A simple “router” could accomplish this by performing these steps:

• Capture the HTTP request
• Determine the target service and “redirect” the HTTP request to it
• Capture the HTTP response
• Transmit the contents of the response to the client

The ASP.NET Routing module could be made to work this way but it wasn’t intended for that.
