GET on .jws returns a misleading message

           Summary: GET on .jws returns a misleading message

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor

If you invoke an HTTP GET on a .jws, you get back a page saying something like 
this:

``AXIS error

No service is available at this URL''

That is misleading.  The problem is that GET was used rather than POST, not
that there is nothing there.  The returned page should say something to that
effect.

Documentation matters, if we want this stuff to be understood and used.
