I am trying to decide which technology to use to implement a service that will be consumed by .NET 2.0 clients.

The client needs to be able to request a set of files. The request will consist of filename and version. The number of files a client may request can vary.

The clients must not be expcted to support .NET above version 2.0.

The service will stream the requested set of files as a single compressed archive.

I am somewhat baffled regarding the choices I have in which to implement the service and (more importantly) how to consume the service from .NET 2.0. It's been a long time since I wrote .NET 2.0 code and I'm not sure how to consume any of the technologies I have been reading about from .NET 2.0 code.

I believe my options with regards to technology are:

  1. ASMX web services
  2. WCF with basicHttpBinding
  3. WCF Web HTTP (using WebInvoke with POST, I believe I can stream data up in a HttpWebRequest object)?
  4. Some kind of REST service?
  5. Other?

Which of the above are viable for .NET 2.0 clients?

How can I pass my set of filename/version mappings to from .NET 2.0 code?

I don't need exact code; just a general recommendation for the service technology and a general idea of how to pass my data up. I can research the rest myself.
