description =  [[
Determines if a ASP.NET application has debugging enabled using a HTTP DEBUG request.

The HTTP DEBUG verb is used within ASP.NET applications to start/stop remote
debugging sessions. The script sends a 'stop-debug' command to determine the
application's current configuration state but access to RPC services is required
 to interact with the debugging session. The request does not change the
application debugging configuration.

The script sends a ‘stop-debug’ command to determine the application’s current configuration state but access to RPC services is required to interact with the debugging session. The request does not change the application debugging configuration.
