Calling webservice from javascript

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Hi All,

I need to call our .net webservice from javascript to check for a value
periodically over a period of time. After doing some initial coding, we found
that, to call a webservice from javascript httpGet must be enabled in the web
service config file. But Microsoft says by default this httpGet protocol is
disabled for security reasons.

Now, is there a way to call a webservice (pass a parameter and get a value
returned) from javascript with out enabling httpGet?

As Microsoft says disable the httpget for production, what are the security
holes involved in this design?

Is the whole idea of calling webservice from javascript is a flaw?
.
