note 95576 deleted from soapclient.soapclient by crell

Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- I had to struggle with a rather strange behavior when trying to consume standard Parlay X web services with no success. However, I found a remedy to my problem. The problem which I faced was about an erroneous invalid HTTP basic authentication request sent to the web service. Although I was sending the right credentials, I was getting an authentication error. It turns out that PHP was sending HTTP requests to another endpoint which is not exposed directly through the web service and that end point does not require authentication. My remedy for that issue was by using this simple lines in the example of using sendSms Paraly-X method. First, creating a soap client without any HTTP authentication options: <?php $client = new SoapClient($wsdl_url); ?> The above request will cache the wsdl in the /tmp directory. Immediately after this construction we create another soap client, this time with HTTP authentication options: <?php try { $client = new SoapClient($wsdl_url, array('login' => "griffin", 'password' => "password")); } catch (Exception $e) { printf("Error:sendSms: %s\n",$e->__toString()); return false; } ?> Now it should work without any problem. Without the second call, PHP will call sendSms without credentials resulting in a failed attempt due to missing authentication information. I found this procedure to be the simplest. This process should be done every time the cached wsdl expires, or simply a one can increase the time-to-live for the cached wsdl from php.ini
