What I decided to do was to use the asp page to do the login, and use
soap for the rest.

Then I found some time to do some rudimentary benchmarks and it seems
the asp method is actually faster than the soap method! So I'll
probably just use the asp page, and make it possible to ask the server
to use the soap method when I need good error messages.

I tested it by running this particular operation, which involves
nearly 200 queries (big site plus multiple queries per page to be able
to get an ioid per published location). This takes between 45 and 55
seconds depending on usage of web workers and soap vs asp.

Interestingly, the web workers are actually making it slower by a few
seconds, which is slightly disappointing. I thought it did make it
faster, but I never did any benchmarks to see if it was. However, It
was nice to learn how to use them, so not all is lost :)

And I take back my previous comments about saying the soap method was
faster, seeing as I'm wrong about that. It turns out the new server
itself is a heap faster than the old (with the old server, the same
operation takes over 250 seconds!)

-------------------

Either way, as much as it would be nice to not have to rely on some
extra random file to be able to achieve this, at least it can be
achieved, so it's all good.

And as for the asmx file, I'm still not entirely sure how that works,
our server person is also unsure, and time never seems to be my
friend, so I'll skip testing that.

Thankyou all for your help :)

Regards,
Stephen
