When an XML Web service client uses the HTTP-POST protocol, by default parameters are encoded within the HTTP body using URL encoding rules and uses plain XML for the response. This protocol uses classes that derive from MimeFormatter to encode parameters and return values into standard MIME formats. The encoders to use are specified in the service description.

If you are building an XML Web service client using ASP.NET, then a proxy class deriving indirectly or directly from WebClientProtocol needs to be created for the XML Web service you want to call. When the XML Web service client is calling using HTTP, derive the proxy class HttpSimpleClientProtocol, which in turn derives from WebClientProtocol.

HttpGetClientProtocol and HttpPostClientProtocol derive from HttpSimpleClientProtocol, providing the support for calling an XML Web service method using HTTP-GET and HTTP-POST respectively. Clients calling an XML Web service using SOAP should derive from SoapHttpClientProtocol.

For details on building a proxy class, see [<topic://cpconcreatingwebserviceproxy>].

The following example is a proxy class generated by the Wsdl.exe utility for the Math XML Web service below. The proxy class derives from HttpPostClientProtocol, which derives from the abstract HttpSimpleClientProtocol class.

public class MyMath : System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpPostClientProtocol {

    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    public MyMath() {
        this.Url = "http://www.contoso.com/math.asmx";
    }

    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpMethodAttribute(typeof(System.Web.Services.Protocols.XmlReturnReader), typeof(System.Web.Services.Protocols.HtmlFormParameterWriter))]
    [return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("int", Namespace="http://www.contoso.com/", IsNullable=false)]
    public int Add(string num1, string num2) {
        return ((int)(this.Invoke("Add", (this.Url + "/Add"), new object[] {num1,
                    num2})));
    }

    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    public System.IAsyncResult BeginAdd(string num1, string num2, System.AsyncCallback callback, object asyncState) {
        return this.BeginInvoke("Add", (this.Url + "/Add"), new object[] {num1,
                    num2}, callback, asyncState);
    }

    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    public int EndAdd(System.IAsyncResult asyncResult) {
        return ((int)(this.EndInvoke(asyncResult)));
    }
}

The following example is the Math XML Web service, from which the previous proxy class was created.
