Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to create a json REST webservice and starting off with a simple example ... but can't get it to function. This is what I get when attempting to call it with a cUrl ...

curl -X GET -v http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/HelloService/HelloService/GetData/value/334
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred.
*   Trying ::1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 8733 (#0)
> GET /Design_Time_Addresses/HelloService/HelloService/GetData/value/334 HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8733
> User-Agent: curl/7.55.1
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
< Allow: POST
< Content-Length: 0
< Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
< Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2020 21:20:50 GMT
<
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

C:\


If it matters I am running/serving the service using "debug mode" which calls the WCF Test Client application.

Can anyone please tell me why it thinks I should be asking for a POST?

What I have tried:

Here are my HelloService.VB, IHelloService.VB and my App.Config files:

IHelloService.vb
<ServiceContract()>
Public Interface IHelloService

    <OperationContract()>
    Function GetData(ByVal value As String) As String

End Interface


HelloService.vb
Public Class HelloService
    Implements IHelloService
    <WebInvoke(ResponseFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Json, Method:="GET", UriTemplate:="value/{value}")>
    Public Function GetData(ByVal value As String) As String Implements IHelloService.GetData
        Return String.Format("You entered: {0}", value)
    End Function


End Class
