Would this work with an https end point?

Yes it will, just specify the https:// url and it will work.

Where exactly should i place the rewrite tags? in the web.config of the web application?

Yes, you can place them in the web.config of the application. This is what will trigger the "proxy" capabilities of ARR.

By the way if you are using the RTW version you will need to go to the Application Request Routing Proxy feature at the Server - level and enable the proxy capabilities. For security reasons this "flag" was added on RTW.

Is that the URL rewriting feature? i cant see the Application Request Routing Proxy feature however i can see that my rule is recognized in that feature module, this is my rule

<rules>

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

and this is how i call the service

var countrySvc = new ServiceCountryDetails.countrySoapClient(

new System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding(),

new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://www.webservicex.net/country.asmx"));

countrySvc.GetCurrenciesCompleted +=new EventHandler<Client.Data.ServiceCountryDetails.GetCurrenciesCompletedEventArgs>(

(s, a) =>

{

foreach (var currencyCode in a.Result)

{

}

});

countrySvc.GetCurrenciesAsync();

however i get the cross-domain exception when i hit the calling, am i doing something wrong? thanks

If you select the "Server" in the Tree View you should see an Icon in the IIS group that says Application Request Routing.

Also, your code should be creating the end point to go against "http://localhost/country.asmx" instead.

nop i only see the URL Rewrite feature, may i have a bad installation?

antoher question i see webservicex.net has crossdomain.xml on the server however it looks its not enough to call web services directly, is there any other way to call services from this site? thanks for your help
