SOAP::Lite problem

cornmek1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have posted this to the SOAP::Lite mailing list but I thought some 
SOAP'y novice's might be lurking in the pews with a handy RTFM 
reference.

The Problem

I have a SOAP::Transport::HTTP server ( daemon ) running on my 
solaris box.

When I access the server using my PC SOAP::Lite client all is 
hunky-dory :@)

When a collegue accesses the same service via IIS XMLHTML he 
gets the data, but the server is then 'hung' to my PC
client, the IIS SOAP client still runs fine.

If he kills the IIS server, I get access again. So it looks like 
there is some kind of lock condition, or maybe incomplete transaction 
going on ?


Diagnostics.

When I view the server process via truss I notice that 
my PC client leaves it in the following state

accept(3, 0xFFBEF580, 0xFFBEF57C, 1) (sleeping...)
which I guess is 'ok'.

The IIS client however leaves the daemon as
read(4, 0x00574050, 2048) (sleeping...)
which I guess is 'bad'.

The operative word is guess, and I wouldnt be 
surprised if I've be been bitten by some 
interoperability gotcha.

Help! and thanks. ( FX: lights votive candles )

Check to see if the IIS client has keep-alive turned on. Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
