Good news - I found a public webservice at http://rpc.geocoder.us/service/soap/
and ns_http works great with that with my AOLserver version.
So, does anybody have any advice re using an SSL version? Are sockets the way
to go to do this?
thanks
Brian

Hi Jeff,
many thanks for that pointer! That makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately it's not
working for me with that particular StockQuote web service. Now I know the web
service is quite slow but it works fine with the sockets approach. I tried
different timeouts but no joy. I wonder is it my AOLserver's (4.0.10) version
of ns_http? I can't seem to find any free web services to test against - that
webserviceX.NET is very slow.
My other question is - I'm hoping to do an SSL version once I have the basic
code working. I don't think there's a HTTPS version of ns_http, is there? At
least there is an SSL version of ns_sockopen (ns_openssl_sockopen). Would that
be the way to go?
Here's my code:
set result ""
set soap_request {<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><soap:Body><GetQuote
xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/";><symbol>GOOG</symbol></GetQuote></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>}
set type "text/xml"
set rqset [ns_set new rqset]
ns_set put $rqset SOAPAction "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote";
if {[catch {set rqid [ns_http queue POST
"http://www.webserviceX.NET/stockquote.asmx"; $soap_request $rqset]} err ]} {
set result $err
ns_log Notice "Brian error result=$result"
} else {
set status [ns_http wait $rqid result 60]
ns_log Notice "Brian after wait rqid=$rqid status=$status result=$result"
}
ns_return 200 text/plain $result

Hi Brian,
ns_httppost does url-encoding of the name-value pairs you pass in as
qsset. For SOAP you need to just post the xml message, not as a
name-value pair. If you sniffed the actual request you're sending with
ns_httppost it would be something like
Message=<?xml version="1.0" .....
Try using ns_http queue instead.
set rqid [ns_http queue POST http://www.webserviceX.NET/stockquote.asmx
$soap_request $rqset]
ns_http wait $rqid result
