Attachments: MSSOAP interoperability

[Matthias Brunner]

Hello,

I have read on the list that Axis is compatible to MS Soap Toolkit 
3.0 concerning DIME attachments.

Yet I do encounter a error when deserializing on the client side 
(MSSOAP):
"Client: Loading the request into SoapReader failed."
The MSSOAP trace utility even crashes!

How do I get DIME attachments working with MSSOAP and Axis (has any 
one managed it)? Could it be that MSSOAP does not like chunked 
encoding? How do it turn it off?

Server Software: latest axis cvs, tomcat 4.1.12, jdk 1.4.1, linux
Client Software: Win2k, MS Soap Toolkit 3.0, VB 6.0 SP5

Best regards!
