I have an ASP.NET web service running that accepts both HTTP POST and SOAP

  • 0

I have an ASP.NET web service running that accepts both HTTP POST and SOAP requests. Are there any disadvantages to using a simple HTTP POST to get the data from the WS instead of using SOAP over HTTP?

I can’t think of anything else other than the support for transmission of complex data types, and I don’t think I’ll need that in this project.

Thanks,
Teja.

    The clue is in the question…

    using a simple HTTP POST to get the data

    A POST is not a GET, a GET is a GET.

    If you’re the only person operating on the WS then it’s not a problem as long as you are handling your incoming connections properly. If it is open to outsiders then I would recommend sticking to conventions, they are there to save us from ourselves 🙂
