Hi,
I may be misunderstanding - could you possibly provide a little more info? if a service isn't exposed I don't see how you could hit it successfully - simply due to good security practice. Perhaps I'm missing the point?
An example similar to what you mean I think is what someone asked me about a project I was working on the other day.
I have 2 webservices that support the POST REST service to create and update records.
It would be really helpful if I could after running my project delete the records created so that I can re-run my project. a DELETE REST request would be really helpful - however, there isn't a webservice method that supports the DELETE - i.e. there isn't a DELETE REST request - so this is impossible.
Again - if I'm understanding your question, it would be extreme bad practice from a security perspective if you could access a resource without the service being exposed - but I may be misunderstanding what you're getting at.
Cheers,
richie
