Asp Forum - sending a handmade SOAP request

Bernard

Hey y'all,

Is there a way to POST a handmade SOAP request *without* using any
libraries like SOAPpy? I've been having some communication trouble
with a server using the new wse3 (http://www.microsoft.com/...
details.aspx?
familyid=018A09FD-3A74-43C5-8EC1-8D789091255D&displaylang=en).

they keep on sending back this strange error :
SOAPpy.Types.faultType: <Fault q0:Security: Header
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/address... for ultimate
recipient is required but not present in the message.>

We've tried using SOAPui (http://sourceforge.net/projec...) as
well to test the web service out. this little baby builds a proper
SOAP request based on the wsdl file. we keep on hitting that error
again & again...

so what is up with that?

Yes, it's quite easy to SOAP by hand.

I use Oren Tirosh's ElementBuilder class (on top of lxml instead of
ElementTree) to build the SOAP request and the xpath capabilities in lxml
to pull out the data I need from the response.

http://www.tothink.com/python/Eleme...
http://codespeak...

An incomplete example for contructing a request looks something like this:

body = Element('soap:Envelope',
{ 'xmlns:soap': nss['soap']},
Element('soap:Header'), Element('soap:Body',
{ 'xmlns:msgs': nss['msgs'] },
Element('msgs:login',
Element('msgs:passport',
{ 'xmlns:core': nss['core'] },
Element('core:password', password),
Element('core:account', account)))))

I use httplib2 for sending the HTTP requests:

http://code.google.com/p...

Incomplete example:

headers['SOAPAction'] = action
headers['Content-length'] = str(len(etree.tostring(body)))
response, content = self._client.request(
self.ns_uri, "POST",
body=etree.tostring(body), headers=self._headers)
if response.status == 500 and not (response["content-type"].startswith("text/xml") and len(content) > 0):
raise HTTPError(response.status, content)
if response.status not in (200, 500):
raise HTTPError(response.status, content)
doc = etree.parse(StringIO(content))
if response.status == 500:
faultstring = doc.findtext(".//faultstring")
raise HTTPError(response.status, faultstring)

Now it's just a matter of using xpath expressions to dig into the "doc"
structure for the bits you need.

This might help:

I didn't try, but it should also work with lxml - which might make a couple of
things a little easier, as it gives you XPath and (a lot of its) friends. For
request generation, this little feature might also be of interest:

What dance? Commit a crime while holding a gun, and you die.

Is that simple enough for you?
