I already mentioned that I employ
HTTP Basic Authentication
How can one invoke your webservice, I mean how does the User Interface looks like? Do they enter the URL directly inside the address bar of browser to invoke your web service or they have to enter URL in some text field on a web page designed by you..
There is no UI. Clients are free to create requests into the web service any way that they want.
The browser is of no use as it can only issue GETs via the address bar.
Like I won't want that anybody can fire a GET request on my webservice by simply entering a URL in browser. How will I ask him for username and password?
