I have a problem accessing the web service ?wsdl for SharePoint lists, although I can see the list of operations.
For example, for the following URLS:
://team/sites/test/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx - returns a list of operations
://team/sites/test/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL - returns the wsdl document
://team/sites/test/Lists/TestList1/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx - returns a list of operations
://team/sites/test/Lists/TestList1/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL - returns a 404 error (example of full error pasted below).
I've checked on a few SP installations and I'm seeing the same behaviour on all of them, I've also tried logging on to the web server as admin and calling the pages and I get the same result each time. I've also checked that DisableLoopbackCheck is set to 1 in the registry.
Is it the case that there is no WSDL available for specific lists, just for the generic list type i.e. you get the WSDL from /_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL and access the actual service via ///_vti_bin/Lists.asmx, or have I got the wrong end of the stick here?
Any help gratefuly accepted.
