  • The request failed with an empty response!

    05-14-2008, 2:27 PM

    Hello, I have written a web service in visual studio 2005 and it works perfectly on my local machine. However, when I publish it on a remote web server, and try to access it from visual studio using Add web reference in a project, I can see the web service, but VS gives an error -

    " There is an error downloading *.asmx . The request failed with an empty response"

    Due to this, I am not able to add a web reference for the web service in my application.

     Any idea? Permission issues? or anything else?

    Ironically, the same call from a visual studio 2008 works perfectly. (I cannot use VS2008 though, I was just testing through my options). Please see if anybody can help here. Really urgent and important!!

    Thanks

    Pranay!

    Can you access the asmx file directly w/ your browser?  Does it bring up the test form?
