Webservices Setup 101

api

I'm a little new to using Web Services on IIS.  I've reviewed the guides and haven't been able to find specific instructions on how to enable the web api, or something as simple as which URL to make the api requests to.

I see the CounterSoftGeminiAPIv37_2.zip file has some .dll files inside of it...  Are there step by step instructions on setup of the API before using the sample sites and test harness?

Please instruct.

Thanks.

No need to setup anything special.
Simply use the test harness to learn how to use the API using our proxy DLL (WebServices dll): http://www.countersoft.com/downloads/v37/CounterSoftGeminiAPITestHarnessv372.zip

Open the solution compile and run it.

Okay, I think I've made a little more progress!

I copied the WebServices dll into the /bin directory.

Assuming Gem is installed on https://localhost, I should be able to make a GET request to:  https://localhost/webservices/AuthWS.asmx

Is that correct?

Is there a way to verify that the webserver side is setup correctly before our developers get a chance to install and run the Test Harnesss/Sample site? 

Hopefully I'm asking these questions in a format that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

No need for that. That dll is a proxy for your .net app.
What programming language are you using to call the web service?
See http://api.countersoft.com for detials.
