I don't think this is the right mailing list for this question. It is
perhaps better addressed to regular dev list. However, to answer your
questions:

Yes. It depends on how you have deployed and implemented your web services,
but the short answer is yes.
Finally I received an answer from the developer saying I have to access the

I don't think it is the right way at all and neither secure. If your web
service end point and implementation is proper, you should not need to
retrieve your request data in that manner. And if it is not, I believe
there are better ways of submitting data to a web server. You can begin by
having your developer look at:
