SOAP timing out

I have a working script that successfully sends data from my home PC to
a SOAP server in a .NET environment. I run Win2K on this box.

When I upload the script to a Redhat server, it times out, and does not
submit any data.

Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

-------------------------------8<---------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use lib 'PerlMods/SOAP-Lite-0.69/lib';
use SOAP::Lite ( +trace => 'all', maptype => {} );

my $FirstName='Amer';
my $LastName='Neely';
my $proxy = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:180/somescript.asmx'; # edited
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://localhost:180/somewhere')
-> on_action( sub { join '/', 'http://localhost:180/somewhere','Insert'} )
-> proxy('http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:180/somescript.asmx');

my $method = SOAP::Data->name('Insert')
->attr({xmlns => 'http://localhost:180/somewhere'});

my @params = (
SOAP::Data-> name(FirstName => $FirstName),
SOAP::Data-> name(LastName => $LastName));
print $soap->call($method => @params)->result;
-------------------------------8<---------------------------------

This prints 'OK', which is what is returned by the 'Insert' function
from the server.

Change a SOAPAction header through an on_action method.

Ummm. I'm sorry but can you provide a little more detail for that? I'm
new to SOAP and .NET, so I need a little more to work with.

First try not to use on_action method. Default is set to uri#method and
it works when calling Perl service from Perl client.

Anyway it should return some fault report. If not, it's an http issue.

I am trying a modification to my script based on the example at
http://users.skynet.be/pascalbotte/rcx-ws-doc/perldotnet.htm

This return in the error log looks worrisome:
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive: HTTP::Response=HASH(0x1f8f14c)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am getting the fault report:
Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to
an instance of an object

The script times out with a '500 Internal Server Error'.

Does this help in debugging?

I don't get a fault report, but this entry in the log file worries me:
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive: HTTP::Response=HASH(0x89533f4)
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive: 500 (Internal Server Error)
Can't connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:180 (connect: timeout)

The script still times out with a '500 Internal Server Error'.

Does this help in debugging?

Application doesn't respond, you want to look at server faultstring
what's wrong.

You've got to fiddle with SOAPAction and probably other things as
described in "SOAP::Lite client with a .NET server" section of SOAP::Lite
docs.

It seems fiddling is all I've been doing for the past week or so :) I'll
do some more. For all its hype I'm not impressed with the .NET <-> SOAP
interoperability.
