A developer just received a new box we are trying to set up and are running into problems with soap toolkit we haven't seen before. The machine has IIS 5.1 installed. VS.Net 2003. .Net framework 1.1 (it did have framework 2.0 installed as well but we removed it when we started having problems) The webservices we are trying to connect to were written in C#. We can connect to the webservice both on his machine and on a central server through a web browser. I can connect through Soaptoolkit from other machines to the service running on his box. But I cannot get his Soaptoolkit to connect to a web service either local or remote. The create object succeeds but the mssoapinit fails leaving in the application log "Soap error: Loading of the WSDL file failed." The vb script I'm running looks like. -------------- Option Explicit Dim soapClient3 set soapclient3 = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient30") On Error Resume Next Call SoapClient3.mssoapinit("http://localhost/MSTnet/MST.asmx?WSDL", "MST", "MSTSoap") SoapClient3.ConnectorProperty("AuthUser") = "<userid>" SoapClient3.ConnectorProperty("AuthPassword")="<password>" if err <> 0 then wscript.echo "initialization failed " + err.description end if ------------ I've tried sending it through the trace utility but see no traffic. I tried putting the wsdl file on the machine and calling it directly. Still obtain the error. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ryan Claeys Systems Analyst Ciber, Inc
