Soap and Http-access problem.

[Ola Bini]

Hi,

I'm working on an application where some of the business logic is
accessible with SOAP. I've used SOAP4R to generate everything and it
works splendid (I use http-access2 since we require https). Anyway, a
week ago, this stopped working, for no reason I can figure out. But it
just stopped working on my dev machine, not on our production_test
server or anything. I'm sitting on Windows 2003, and the stack trace
looks like this:
Bad file descriptor - connect(2) (, #0)

I would be very thankful for any help coming to terms with this.

Hmm. Trying to execute TCPSocket.new(nil, 0) here. Endpoint URL is
broken somewhere.


Do you know what's 'old_send' here? What version of soap4r are you using?

Hi,

I'm using Soap4R 1.5.5. Regarding the old_send, that's the result of
monkey_patching, since I add some big problems with another thing. Hmm.
old_send is just send renamed. But this shouldn't be the problem, it
works on another machine and has worked on this machine. The monkey
patching looks like this:

module SOAP
class HTTPStreamHandler
alias ld_send :send
def send(endpoint_url, conn_data, soapaction = nil, charset = @charset)
ret = old_send(endpoint_url,conn_data,soapaction,charset)
if ret.receive_string =~ /.*?(<\?xml.*?<\/soapenv:Envelope>).*?/m
ret.receive_string = $1
end
ret
end
end
end

and the reason that is is necessary can you find here:

in the next to last paragraph.

Do your production and development environment both uses http proxy to
access foreign WS?

Hi,

Nope, no proxies anywhere. It's a straight call through https to the
other machine.

Hmm. There must be an attachment interoperability problem. Can I see
entire response XML?

I don't have it available right now, but I'll dig after it. Suffice to
say, there was noise before <?xml (some kind of multipart structure,
maybe), and what looked like the complete PDF sent attached after (the
same data contained in a byte-array inside the SOAP-response)
