SOAP can really be a world of pain. I spent hours trying to connect to a
SOAP service and the best I could get was a "400 Bad Request". It turned
out that they were using wsHttpBinding - which seems to only be supported
by .NET clients. The work-around is to manually inject the WS-Security
headers into the SOAP envelope. In the end I gave up and reverted to a
service using basicHttp binding.
Long story, short: pysimplesoap works really well. It is SOAP itself that
is overly complex and mostly broken.
And for anyone out there experiencing the pain, here's some sample code
that I use as a sanity check. The 'trace' option leaves a nice trail on
the console - but remember to turn it off in production.
from gluon.contrib.pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient,
SoapFault
url = "http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL";
client = SoapClient(wsdl=url, trace = True)
parameters = {}
parameters['ZIP'] = 90210
try:
response = client.GetCityWeatherByZIP(**parameters)
except SoapFault as e:
response = "ERROR {0}: {1}".format(e.faultcode,
e.faultstring)
