Let's back up a half step.

When you say you can get to it from your machine with no issues, what does that mean? For example:

"I launch FireFox on my local Windows system and punch in the URL http://www.funkyserver.com/blammo1?wsdl.poof, which gives me a warning "Server is in left field, try switching to baseball glove", and when I click OK it loads the WSDL in my browser which I can examine, copy and paste, etc."

And I agree with GotToBTru above -- just the warning alone could indicate something which the browser is able to handle (or is configured to handle) which requires extra work on your part to make work in Perl.

My point? That the very incident of getting a warning means this does not qualify, in the strictest technical sense, as "no issues". Warnings are issues. They're just little issues, as a rule.

Why am I pointing this out? Because when you are coding a robot, it has to be prepared to handle stuff we humans make lots and lots and lots of silly assumptions about. So you have to pick all the nits.

That said, having just left a life of web API test automation, I'm very interested in seeing what the problem and solution are here -- so please don't give up just because we're asking a metric ton of silly questions -- trust me, they are necessary, and we do want to help.
