Request format is unrecognized

[Andrew Filev]

I've got an error trying to open
http://[myservername]/BAMQueryWebSvc/QueryWebService.asmx or
http://[myservername]/BAMQueryWebSvc/QueryWebService.asmx?wsdl in browser.
Should it be so? The error is:
Server Error in '/BAMQueryWebSvc' Application.

If you look in the web.config for the service you will see that the web
services section has some protocols disabled. Comment this section out of
the web.config and it should work fine. essentially, MS setup these
services to be consumed, not to be browsed.
