David,
This is not a bug in the ServerXMLHTTP interface but rather an problem
on the Web Service server. The problem is that the WS Server is not
setting the correct MIME Type when returning the WSDL file.
Since they are serving up a raw WSDL file they need to add the MIME
mapping in their web server software of "text/xml" or "application/xml".
If they were creating the XML WSDL file dynamically using ASPX or CF
they would need to set the mime type using Response.ContentType or
CFContent.
You can test this by saving the WSDL file locally on your server's HD,
and run your test code(pointing the new wsdl file of course). If it
does not load into the DOM, (assuming you are running IIS) open the
website properties in Internet Services Manager and add a MIME map of
"text/xml" for .wsdl file types. Reload your CFML script and all will
be good.
Hope this clears it up...
BTW: I have been working with ServerXMLHTTP(and Web Services) for about
8 months, to respond to the original thread. I have not found any
limitations to fault of ServerXMLHTTP. It's actually working quite
well. Of course when I stress test the application I may be in for some
other results :) More to follow...
Happy Coding,
// Brett
