1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions

  • Article

This protocol operates against a site that is identified by a URL that is known by the protocol client. The protocol server endpoint is formed by appending "/_layouts/GetSpotlight.ashx" to the URL of the site. For example, given the following site URL:

  • http://www.contoso.com/Repository

The server endpoint would be:

  • http://www.contoso.com/Repository/_layouts/GetSpotlight.ashx

In addition, to use this web service, the protocol client needs to have the name of a document library on the site. The Published Links Web Service Protocol [MS-PLSP] can be used to obtain this information.
