I’ve created a clone of this service at: http://keithba.com/WeatherFetcher.asmx
that you can try using.
Try it out, and let me know if that works…

Fascinating...this service doesn't even interop .NET 2
.NET. When I build a proxy class with wsdl.exe and make a request, I still get
back the same response Sam and Mick see.
I noticed that the owner of the service charges for a
subsription fee for the service. So, perhaps this is why we aren't getting
results. I've cc'd the service owner to this reply.

I'm puzzled. Yes, when you use the web page (i.e., HTTP GET) it works.
But when we send:

> Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
> SOAPAction: "http://www.myasptools.com/GetWeather"

What we get back is

So, I tried posting pretty much EXACTLY what the web page provided as
example POST, as follows:
> POST /glkev_ws/WeatherFetcher.asmx HTTP/1.1
> Host: glkev.net.innerhost.com
> Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
> Content-Length: 355

xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
> <soap:Body>
> <GetWeather xmlns="http://www.myasptools.com/">
> <zipCode>90201</zipCode>
> </GetWeather>
> </soap:Body>
> </soap:Envelope>
What I got back in return was
> HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
> Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
> Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 00:39:43 GMT
> MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub

So, I am going to forward this onto one of my friends at Microsoft to
see if they have any ideas...
