Can any one suggest alternative to capture the URL of the
Web services consumer in Web service. For VS.Net 2003,
HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer or
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables
("HTTP_REFERER") both holds null value. Any Patch/Fixes
available?

How would that work? A webservice is something that is called directly.
I don't know how you can set up something to "refer" to a webservice and
have it execute properly.
 
Obviously! Web services are consumed directly
and 'HTTP_REFERER' was mentioned for elaboration.

Alternatively, by capturing URL of the consumer one can
restrict and monitor web services consumers.

But the consumer is not a URL, they're just an IP address. And if
they're behind a proxy, the same IP address could be used by numerous
consumers.
