How to profile a pure web service site

Dear all,

i would like to profile a pure web service site - therefore there does not exist a single .aspx file.

specifying https://145.228.???.??/MasterKernelService.svc in the project wizard and clicking 'Finish' leads to a

'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'

message.

The address line is now

https://145.228.???.??:8013/MasterKernelService.svc

145.228.???.?? is the local machine.

Any ideas, or does this product does not support web services?

Best regards
Dirk

    Hi Dirk,

    Thanks for your post, there is a two-part answer to this one!

    First, since it seems this website is hosted on IIS 6, an unused port should be specified for profiling, which is 8013 be default. If the WCF service must bind to port 80, then you can stop the website in IIS administrator and tell ANTS Profiler to use port 80 as the "unused port".

    Secondly, you will need ANTS Profiler 4.1, because 4.0 wouldn't let you use any TCP port lower than 1024!

    Here is an example (with screenshots) of a WCF service being profiled (albeit not on port 80!).
