If it is the case that the package is without doubt completely broken for all Ubuntu users of 12.04 under all possible scenarios,
I'm sure it works when no authentication is needed, and I think it works using NTLM authentication, but without doubt it cannot possibly authenticate using the ubiquitous HTTP Basic authentication.
Thank you for investigating and documenting this. As someone who has an interest in this package, is there any chance you can do some validation on the current development version, so that we can ensure that the package works better when Trusty (the next LTS, expected in April) is released?
I did try the trusty version and it authenticated but something still isn't right because the back end server returns an error complaining about NULL not allowed for the second parameter. I gave up on libgsoap and compiled and linked against stdsoap2.c, which is the normal way of using gsoap and what has worked for me for five years.
I'd look into this harder if I could work out how to use the -dbg package. I see no documentation for it, but I believe that's what I should use to log gsoap protocol. I tried setting LD_PATH, which didn't work, but I just now realise that it wouldn't. Perhaps if I tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH... I'll put some more effort in and report back.
