Configuring IIS Web Server to Serve RESTful Web Services

Hi-

Im curious if there is any specific configuration that has to be done on an IIS web server to serve up RESTful web services.

I have a server that has IIS installed, with the CSP gateway.  a second server that has Cache installed on it.

I have configured a web application using the Cache System Management Portal for the web services that has a dispatch class pointing to my dispatch class.

I have created an application mapping in my CSP Gateway Management Portal on the web server such that url's with /webservices prefix are routed to my cache server.

There is a virtual directory created on the web server in IIS for /webservices that has appropriate extensions configured for .csp and .cls.

However, when I try to use the REST tool within Chrome to access a working restful web service it is timing out with no response.

Im thinking that perhaps the problem is that when you are accessing a RESTful web service you are not really accessing any document with any extension and therefore the web server doesn't know what to do with the request.

Thanks in advance

Ken
