Wise monks,

I’m trying to use a script that sends a SOAP::LITE request over HTTPS. The script was written by a colleague, and while I have a bit of perl experience I have no SOAP or HTTPS apart from reading up the past few days. The script make one SOAP::LITE request to a server, hangs for 60 seconds and then continues as expected with an expected response. It appears the SOAP::LITE request hangs until the connection is reset by the server (causing a 60 sec delay between making the request and being able to process the response).

I have confirmed that the server response quickly to the request and then the script hangs until the reset is received using tcpdump.

Here is a sanitized version of the code. Hopefully there is enough to give an idea what it is doing...

#!perl -w
use Net::SSL;
use SOAP::Lite;
$SOAP::Constants::DO_NOT_USE_CHARSET = 1;
use XML::LibXML;
my ($function, @params) = @ARGV;

$ENV{HTTPS_CERT_FILE} = "./xxxxx.crt";
$ENV{HTTPS_KEY_FILE} = "./xxxxx.key";

my $sitetoken= SOAP::Header->name( CODE REMOVED );
my $ppsoapheader=SOAP::Header->name( CODE REMOVED );
my $auth = SOAP::Header->name( CODE REMOVED );
my $namespace = SOAP::Data->new( CODE REMOVED );

$soap_response =  SOAP::Lite
  -> uri('http://schemas.xxxxx.com/Passport/SoapServices/CredentialSer
+viceAPI/V1')
  -> proxy('https://api.login.yyyyy.com/pksecure/PPSACredentialPK.srf'
+)
  -> GetEDUMigrationData($namespace, $ppsoapheader, $auth);

Wise monks, any ideas why this is hanging until the server reset is received?
