Re: [SOAP] soapclient using https randomly closes connection

I am using php 5.2.9 (solaris) and have access to a .NET webservice that I have to access using https. In most cases, accessing it works just fine, but every now and again, SoapClient closes the connection before actually having transfered the request, erroring with "could not connect to host ...". I have captured the actual communication using snoop and examined the result in wireshark and I see that the tcp connection to the webservice is established correct, but before the request is transmitted, SoapClient closes the tcp-connection which is acknowledged by the webservice which also resets the TCP connection. When I disable the caching of the WSDL file for SoapClient, I get these errors (not always, only sometimes): Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() [soapclient.soapclient]: failed to create an SSL context in /space/hom Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() [soapclient.soapclient]: Failed to enable crypto in /space/home This warning suggests that PHP is unable to create a SSL stream context . By default, if you disable caching, PHP has to download the wsdl to your /tmp directory. Is is possible you are running out of disk space in /tmp.

If I would get this error every time, I'd be more happy, but when it only occurs once in a while (like every 10. connect), I am more at a loss. But it does seem like SoapClient is at fault. Any suggestions? /Bernhard
