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.
