Remote Access To Run/Debug WebServices

Have you ever had the need to test and run a webservice from a machine other then localhost (127.0.0.1)? I was recently debugging a webservice that was running fine locally and when run from the production server it was behaving unexpectably.  I remember reading a blog a while back showing how to remotleyy run a webservice. Remeber you will only want to do this for testing only and then turn it off in production. Original post (http://vidmar.net/weblog/archive/2004/07/16/380.aspx)

Add this to the <system.web>

<webServices>
  <protocols>
    <add name="HttpPost" />
    <add name="HttpGet" />
  </protocols>
</webServices>

That's a good tip.  Usually we use this free tool for testing webservices.
