Hi there,
I m working on a project where my main program is calling thru the net a web server to log in and retrieve some info. I m using Dcom DLL for now and it s working pretty good if there is no firewall.. But if there is a firewall it doesn t wanna work.. is Dcom dealing ok with firewall? what do i ve to do or add to make it work?
If not what should i use? SOAP or something like that?
Thx a lot for help
I am new to .NET, but I have been spending ridiculous amounts of time pouring over the documentation. What I do know is that for process interaction across the web, .NET suggests the use of its' HTML transfer structure. By using HTML as a transport, firewalls are taken out of the equation. This is because any remote system that CAN be accessed from the internet MUST allow HTML code to pass through its' firewall, otherwise it would not be accessible from the internet in the first place. I believe utilizing HTML as a transport in .NET requires IIS to be running on both domains, and I think it requires Front Page Extensions to be installed as well. You might want to look that up. If using IIS and Front Page Extensions is not an acceptable scenario for your project, then post a message to that effect and I will see if there is another routing scheme that can easily navigate firewalls.
I hope this help.
thx for help but i found the answer with soap to call dcom ;)
