I am in the midst of developing a VB.NET SOAP client. The problem I am having is consuming the web service over HTTPS with BASIC authentication. My client works fine over HTTP with BASIC authentication, and also works over HTTPS without BASIC authentication. When I try to consume the web service over HTTPS with BASIC authentication I get the following error:
The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation.
Has anybody experienced anything like this? A snippet of my code follows, I left out the full URl on purpose:
<System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute( _
Name:="soapClient", _
[Namespace]:="urn:soapClient")> _
Public Class soapClient
Inherits System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol
' Constructor: pass in user/app userid and passwd when creating new soapClient
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()> _
Public Sub New(ByVal myCache As CredentialCache)
MyBase.New()
' HTTPS
Me.Url = "https://"
' HTTP
'Me.Url = "http://"
Me.Credentials = myCache
End Sub
' Web service
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute(), _
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute( _
"urn:soapClient/echo", _
RequestNamespace:="urn:Echo", _
ResponseNamespace:="urn:Echo", _
Use:=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Encoded, _
ParameterStyle:= _
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)> _
Public Function echo(ByVal Name As String) As String
Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("echo", New Object() {Name})
Return CType(results(0), String)
End Function
End Class
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Toby
