webHttp Vs enableWebScript, which should be used for WCF REST POST request?

Question

What is the difference between webHttp and enableWebScript in WCF? Which should I use for a WCF REST POST request?

Answer 1

To make your WCF service RESTful, you will have to use WebHttp along with WebHttpBinding

To access your service from AJAX pages, you will have to use enableWebScript . This is similar to adding [ScriptService] attribute in asmx services.

So if the service has to be restful, but you donot want to access it from AJAX, you dont have to include enableWebScript.
