Hi all,
Please excuse me if this topic has already been covered however I think
I may have found quite a major bug in the way ASP.net sessions and
webservices work together.
I have created a simple webservice:
[WebMethod (EnableSession=true)]
public string HelloWorld(string test)
{
return test + " HALLO";
}
and am testing it using a HTTP post
<html>
<form target="_blank"
action='http://localhost/testit/(zssdm245ejxorw55pf0pxhjk)/test.asmx/HelloWo
rld' method="POST">
<input class="frmInput" type="text" size="50" name="test">
<input type="submit" value="Invoke" class="button">
</form>
</html>
doing so I get a fatal Internal Server Error 500... completely dead :(
Setting:
EnableSession=False
everything works fine...
removing the parameter to the webmethod again everything works fine...
in my web.config file I have sessions setup to use cookieless methodolgy
if I change it to use cookies then everything works fine...
Seems like a major bug to me has anyone got any suggestions or come across a
fix for this?? My guess is that the sessions filter is doing some kind of
server.transfer or response.redirect and losing its state and not failing
gracefully. Note that I also tried using HTTP GET methodology in my test
page and I still get the same result.
Many thanks in advance
