WebService newbie - contenttype problem

[Peter Heisen]

Wrote a very simple webservice. Trying to test with this simple VB Script
client:

dim soapClient
set soapClient = createobject("MSSOAP.SOAPClient")
on error resume next
soapClient.mssoapinit("http://localhost/hdws/service1.wsdl")
if err then
wscript.echo "error 1"
wscript.echo soapClient.faultString
wscript.echo soapClient.detail
end if
wscript.echo soapClient.Subtract(5,2)
if err then
wscript.echo "error 2"
wscript.echo soapClient.faultString
wscript.echo soapClient.detail
end if

The output is:
error 2
Client: Connector - Server returned contenttype other than text/xml.

Also wsdl.exe produces similar message when trying to create proxy class.

Appreciate any help.

Can you browse to the web service url with your internet explorer?

Yes. No problem with that. In fact, generated the wsdl file for SOAP
Client object using Save As from http://localhost/hdws/service1.asmx?wsdl.
Certainly looked like well-formulated xml.
