SUMMARY

This article describes information that is sent to a Web service when you debug a client application in the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET IDE.

MORE INFORMATION

When you debug a client application that calls a Web service, an additional header is included in the POST request to allow the server and client to synchronize and do step-in debugging. The information that is included in this header is the client computer name, and the information is always sent, even if there is no chance of a debugging connection between the client and server. You must consider this when you call untrusted Web services over an unsecured channel such as the Internet.
