Re: SOAP::Lite and Apache

I could be wrong, but to me this looks like a rather low level routing problem. Something to do with HTTP proxy or firewall setup. Before coming up with any more detailed hypotheses, however, I'd like you to answer the following questions, which might help to narrow down on what's wrong:

Are you using a proxy if you're connecting from the browser?
Do you have an HTTP proxy configured in the environment from where you're running the client script? (SOAP::Lite would try to use a proxy specified in the environment variable HTTP_proxy, if found)
In case you have HTTP_proxy set, what happens if you unset it?
Can you access the webserver from the command line via a simple telnet 10.104.196.75 80 and/or telnet localhost 80?
In which of the above connection attempts are you getting any corresponding entries in the webserver's access logfile?

Thank you! You're absolutely right. I'd done a tracert to ensure that the webserver could be found via the address I was using but what I hadn't considered was that I'd set HTTP_proxy, HTTP_proxy_pass and HTTP_proxy_user on my development PC in order to get ppm working. Our dev PCs are locked down into their own domain and we have to bounce via the production proxy to get to the Internet. Up until now, I've only ever considered these environment variables to be ppm-related, but it makes perfect sense for SOAP::Lite to use them, too. Ergo, all my requests were going externally. This also explains why I wasn't seeing anything in the webserver's log file ('cos it wasn't being given anything from the client). So, I've removed them and hey presto! Thanks again, J.	[reply]
