More Information

Issue that this hotfix resolves

Issue

When you invoke an ASMX Web service that is hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS), the Web service fails and is intermittently inaccessible until the IIS worker process is recycled. 

Note This issue typically occurs when your operating system experiences high burst loads.

Additionally, a System.InvalidOperationException exception is thrown with the following call stack:

System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/Method Name'.
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandlerFactory.CoreGetHandler(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandlerFactory.GetHandler(HttpContext context, String verb, String url, String filePath)
at System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory.GetHandler(HttpContext context, String requestType, String url, String pathTranslated)
at System.Web.HttpApplication.MaterializeHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)


NoteMethod Name represents the Web service method that you invoke.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a race condition that occurs during the resetting and reading configuration of the Web services section.

Resolution

After you apply this hotfix, the process that uses configuration sections to read from the Web services section of the configuration file is changed. Additionally, the hotfix prevents the race condition.
