Hi,

would it be possible that you create a project on rubyforge for releasing the official handsoap library (as .tgz and .gem)? With the help of the rubyforge gem or the hoe gem, it is rather easy to release files/news on rubyforge and rubyforge is still the main gem server. Then it would be possible to specify handsoap as dependency in other gems.

If you like, I can provide you with the basic rake tasks.

Best regards,
Thomas

ps. Why .tgz? Linux distributions don't really like gems and are more comfortable with .tgz files. And creating the .tgz file along the .gem file is no additional effort.

Hi,

handsoap is currently under an CC-BY 2.5 license which is not compatible with GPL v3. Would it be possible for you to release handsoap under a GPL v3 compatible license or to explicitly dual-license it?

Best regards,
Thomas

One other small request: some SOAP services don't like the header (Intel AMT SOAP services being one of them). It seems to be trivial to add an accessor to Handsoap::XmlMason::Document which controls whether an XML header is written or not.

I needed to use HTTP authentication for the SOAP service I was consuming. I forked the project to implement this, however I found out that it is actually possible already using on_after_create_http_client hook:

def on_after_create_http_client(http_client) 
 http_client.userpwd = "#{self.class.username}:#{self.class.password}"
end

This probably only works with curb; I haven't tested it with httpclient. Maybe this can be added as a feature to handsoap with a nicer API than the example above. Otherwise, this code snippet could be added to the documentation.

Hi,

not sure what your plans regarding SSL are, but for my use case a simple:

http_client.use_ssl = true if url.scheme == 'https'

in the NetHttp#send_http_request method did the trick for submitting requests to a HTTPS endpoint.

Cheers,
Florian

I was attempting to interact with a service that uses the namespace "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" for its SOAP Envelope (as specified in the Soap 1.2 specification ) ,and I can't seem to find a way to create a handsoap service that supports that namespace. Does this just need to be added to Handsoap::SOAP_NAMESPACE, or am I missing something?

I'm having some problem when going from 0.2.9 => 0.3.1.

There is an exception when using xml_to_str
undefined method `to_utf8' for #Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::NokogiriDriver:0xb66b28b0

I'm getting errors when the service returns a chunked http-response. Curl seems to include this in the header part, causing a bad header '"\r\n"'. error.

Setting additional headers on the HTTP client (only tested with Curb) in the on_before_dispatch hook does not work, because they are overwritten later on in the send_http_request method.

    http_client = Curl::Easy.new(uri)
    on_after_create_http_client(http_client) # headers are set here
    http_client.headers = headers # overwrite occurs here

Because of this, setting up Basic Authorization using a header does not work. This can easily fixed by using merge!:

    http_client.headers.merge!(headers)

However, maybe we can add an API to set additional HTTP headers?

Hello:

I am a moderately experienced Ruby scripter, but with almost zero soap experience. I am just starting writing an client that is running against a service provided through Axis2. It appears the service accepts my request, processes it, and sends a response.

The problem comes when handsoap's parser (nokogiri in this case) tries to parse the response. It always raises an error and I have to see the result using the result to the "on_missing_document" method.

EDIT: Removed junk that was the result of a misunderstanding on my part. SOAP isn't easy on beginners!

Hi,

the "on_fault" method raise the Fault object but if it is not formatted the way it is supposed to be (Code and Reason tags), I didn't find a way to get to the Response object to parse it manually and raise the real error code, …

Maybe, if it is possible to set something different than "lazy" for the fault handling, we could have the Response object returned instead of a regular Fault object

Contents of statements like his souldnt be encoded:

element.set_value("<[[CDATA[bla]]>")

It would be great If there was a way to prevent it.

A quick workaround could look like this:

module Common
class NonEscapingString < String
def gsub(arg)
self
end

 def to_s
   self
 end

end
end

Just wrap code that shouldn't be escaped with a NonEscapingString class. Not very beautiful.

In service.rb line 413, ::Tempfile objects don't have the .string method, so it died there. I hacked the following in an attempt to get around, but I don't know if this is correct:

*** /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/troelskn-handsoap-0.4.3/lib/handsoap/service.rb 2009-08-09 11:41:50.433057698 -0400

  loop do
    head = nil

• mycontent_length=content_length
  if 10240 < content_length
    require "tempfile"
    body = Tempfile.new("CGI")
  

  ---

  *** 410,416 ****
  ""
  end

! parts << {:head => head, :body => body.string}
break if buf.size == 0
break if content_length == -1
end
--- 411,425 ----
""
end

! if body.kind_of? ::StringIO then
! parts << {:head => head, :body => body.string}
! elsif body.kind_of? ::Tempfile then
! bodystring=""
! body.read(mycontent_length, bodystring)
! parts << {:head => head, :body => bodystring}
! else
! raise "body must be StringIO or Tempfile"
! end
break if buf.size == 0
break if content_length == -1
end

Anyway, after changing the service.rb, I now get:

"Exception `Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::ParseError' at /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/troelskn-handsoap-0.4.3/lib/handsoap/xml_query_front.rb:56 - Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::ParseError"

This is probably to do with my hack not being the right way to do it, specifically I couldn't figure out whether "content_length" is the right size to use for the body.read.

Before throwing the parse error, I receive 3 parts of the response. The first two (64894 bytes and 34174 bytes) go fine. I'll forward all the files in an email.

Hi,

I'm trying to use handsoap to access the Intel AMT soap services. I have across two issues which should be easy to to overcome:

• Digest authentication: Intel AMT needs digest authentication and httpclient already supports this. However, there is currently (0.5.4) no way to set the security credentials using the httpclient.set_auth method.

  It would be good to have an on_after_create_http_client callback method in the service class which is called after the http client is created but before the request is sent. This would probably mean that the http driver modules would need one more method for returning the driver and that the #send_http_request would need to take the returned http client object as additional parameter. This would allow one to set the credentials in a nice way.

• URI endpoint specification: With Intel AMT there are many hosts that implement one service. So it makes no sense to specify the URI of the endpoint at the class level. There should be some way to define the URI on a per-object basis and only fall back to the class level when no per-object URI is available.

ps. Would it be possible to make the http driver selectable on a per-service basis, ie. not use Handsoap::Http.driver[Handsoap.http_driver] but something that uses an instance method of the current service to get the driver and if that is nil, fall back to the common one?

I have a soap application that returns a zero length http "accept" (202) in response to a request. handsoap doesn't seem to like this, and this condition doesn't trigger the "on_missing_document" or the "on_fault" hooks. It appears this is an unexpected response, because handsoap generates an exception:

Exception `Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::ParseError' at /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/troelskn-handsoap-0.4.2/lib/handsoap/xml_query_front.rb:56 - Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::ParseError

I have an application that responds with multipart responses. When try to use the xml_document.parts method, I get this error:

Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::NokogiriDriver:0x7ffe4c6e4ba8

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/troelskn-handsoap-0.4.4/lib/handsoap/service.rb:277:in parts': undefined local variable or methodresponse' for #Handsoap::XmlQueryFront::NokogiriDriver:0x7ffe4c6e4ba8 (NameError)
from ./nbi/datacentric_service.rb:113:in parse_get_all_devices' from ./nbi/datacentric_service.rb:90:inget_all_devices'
from test.rb:78

Any invocation of the .parts method yields the same error. It looks like a scope problem in service.rb, in the xml_document.parts method. xml_document appears to be out-of-scope for the method.
