Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47761&edit=1 ID: 47761 Comment by: clockwerx@php.net Reported by: marques at displague dot com Summary: Since 5.2.9 SoapClient no longer attempts Basic auth to retrieve a WSDL file Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: $ php -v PHP 5.2.17-0.dotdeb.0 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cli) (built: Jan 7 2011 07:47:48) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies Doing: <?php $wsdl = ...; $soapOptions = array( 'login' => '...', 'password' => '...', 'trace' => 1, 'exceptions' => true, ); $code_table_client = new RPDesktopCodeTableSoapClient(new SoapClient($wsdl, $soapOptions)); The basic auth works for the initial connection, but other components of the WSDL that are being referred to don't load the credentials.

How did you try to pass the username and password to the SOAP client? Please try putting them in the URL, like this: http://user:pass@www.example.com/service.wsdl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-07 03:52:10] marques at displague dot com One scenario, you are making your own SOAP Server service. It is more difficult to write a digest auth server than it is to write a basic auth server. Again, consider that PHP web requests are all made as HTTP/1.0 because Chunk decoding is not handled properly (or at all) and so Digest, which is HTTP/1.1 specific is technically not an option without a good deal of custom coding. Aside from that, I imagine there are just some HTTP/1.0 or Basic only servers out there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-06 22:02:12] sriram dot natarajan at gmail dot com why is there still a need to support basic authentication ? can u kindly explain that scenario ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 13:53:48] marques at displague dot com Description: ------------ Since 5.2.9, SoapClient no longer attempts HTTP Basic authentication to retrieve a wsdl file. Prior to this version Basic was attempted and Digest was not. Digest should also be attempted but that is a matter for another bug. The SoapClient option 'authentication' has no effect on wsdl retrieval. A work-around is to fetch the WSDL file manually or via PHP commands within the SOAP code, but that method can be cumbersome because digest auth code has to be written from scratch and Bug #47759 (chunk encoding) can get in the way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47761&edit=1
