webservices

[JD]

Hello Everyone,

I am doing some research on Webservices for a possible project and I was
wondering if anyone knew if a specific port needed to be opened on a
firewall for them to work, from what I can see that doesn't seem to be the
case, but just needed confirmation one way or the other. Thanks.

WebServices (if you're using HTTP) is just any other HTTP application. So
whatever port you configure your app to run under is the port that you'll
need open in the firewall.

Port 80.

Port 80 is the default, which is the same as a standard web page. Therefore
it's unlikely there will be firewall problems assuming standard web pages
can get through.

Thanks for your replies, greatly appreciated.

they use the port number of the iis site they are hosted under. the default
site is typically port 80.
