Question

we have built a asp.net web service application that we test on the local machine.

We have deployed it on the client’s server and tested it there as well.

The web service returns JSON data, not xml.

But when the we try to access that URL from a remote machine, we cannot see the input fields for taking the parameters. it shows the list of the methods in the web service but when we click on them there’s no text fields for input.

We’d like to access the web services remotely and test them.

Any help would be appreciated.

You’ll want to make sure you have the following in your config file.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<webServices>
    <protocols>
        <add name="HttpGet"/>
        <add name="HttpPost"/>
    </protocols>
</webServices>
</system.web>

Really though you should probably be using something like SoapUI for testing services as the tests are re-runnable ect.
