SOAP::Lite fault seems faulty

Pretty basic right? Just makes a soap authentication request

Soooo the fault code, is unknown method: faultcode?... Someone make it make sense, lol

Nope, it is your program which is faulty ;) What is it you're expecting  $soap->fault to do?

 $soap->fault is really  $soap->call( 'fault' ), does your SOAP server have a fault method? faultcode method? faultstring method?

#!/usr/bin/perl --

use SOAP::Lite;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
->proxy(
    'http://localhost/blah/DummyService',
    timeout => 0.00001,
);
$soap->transport->add_handler("request_send",  \&pp_dump );

eval { $soap->fault; 1 } or print $@;
print '#' x 33, "\n";
eval { $soap->faultcode; 1 } or print $@;
print '#' x 33, "\n";
eval { $soap->faultstring; 1 } or print $@;
print '#' x 33, "\n";
$soap->call('NONSENSE');

sub pp {
    use XML::Twig;
    open my($fh), '>', \my $str;
    no warnings 'newline';
    XML::Twig->new(
        qw! pretty_print record !
    )->parse(
        @_
    )->print( $fh );
    return $str;
}
sub pp_dump {
    {
        my $content = $_[0]->content('');
        $_[0]->content( pp($content) );
    }
    print $_[0]->as_string,"\n";
    return;
}
