How to view soap service data from my browser

I'm completely new to how soap services work, please correct me if my understanding is wrong. I would like to pass parameters and call a function from a soap service by typing in a url on my browser (Chrome) and then would like to see the results. I tried searching and following the information from here, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have tried the following variations:

http://<servername>/apppath/MyService.asmx?op=GetData?loc=01&status=OPEN

http://<servername>/apppath/MyService.asmx/GetData?loc=01&status=OPEN

This is what I get when I go to the url.

http:/<servername>/apppath/MyService.asmx?op=GetData?

enter image description here Please help.

So the error was my understanding of SOAP and host to use Postman. In short, I wasn't able to accomplish a SOAP request through the browser. Also, the picture supplied, it showed I was missing 2 things. 1) The SoapAction 2) The parameters were not supplied in the url but rather in the <soap:Body> tag. These were supplied in the POST and I was able to view my results in Postman

You have to send an HTTP POST request in order to call your web service GetData.

Your JS code should be something like:

//url should be MyService.asmx/GetData
function callWS(url) {
    var loc = "01";
    var status = "OPEN";

    var options = { error: function(msg) { alert(msg.d); },
                    type: "POST", url: "webmethods.aspx/UpdatePage",
                    data: JSON.stringify({ loc: loc, status: status }),
                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataType: "json",
                    async: true, 
                    success: function(response) { alert(response); } 
                  }; 

    $.ajax(options);
}

Maybe you are requesting wrong urls? If you have .asmx in your application - you should be able to see the description page on the url

http://{servername}/{apppath}/MyService.asmx

Of course you should replace {servername} the {apppath} with your values.
