Hi,

I'd like to discover all WebServices that exist on a particualr server :
reading the doc's a little did I encounter the following client tool :
disco.exe http://www.myserver.com/math/math.disco

but, before being able to use this tool do you need to know
a) the virtual dir 'math'
b) the name of the disco file

that's a whole lot !!! how do you obtain that information ?

can't I just use some tool that would give me all webservices available on a
server just by specifying for example http://www.myserver.com

thanks
Chris

Chris,
Disco is a static discovery file, it is used to allow authorized people
to find the physical location to your web service. If you know the path to
your web service you can view the discovery document by adding a disco
parameter to the url, e.g.
http://MyServer/MyVirtualDirectory/MyService.asmx?disco. This does not make
use of dynamic discovery. You can create a dynamic discovery document
(.vsdisco) by making some entries in the web server's machine.config file.
Look into the article titled "Enabling Discovery for an XML Web Service" -
specifically Item 6.
