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

i Monks,

I am new to SOAP.

I have set up 2 machines, 1 client(Ubuntu), 1 server(centos).

And try to test the SOAP by using SOAP::Lite:

Server: 

#!perl -w
  use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
  SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI   
    -> dispatch_to('Demo')     
    -> handle;
  package Demo;
  sub hi {                     
    return "hello, world";     
  }
  sub bye {                    
    return "goodbye, cruel world";
  }

Client: 

#!perl -w
  use SOAP::Lite;
  print SOAP::Lite
    -> uri('http://www.mysite.com/Demo')
    -> proxy('http://www.mysite.com/hibye.cgi')
    -> hi()
    -> result;

However, when I run my client script 'testclient.pl', I get the following errors:

500 Can't read entity body: Connection reset by peer at ./testclient.pl line 3

Please help. Thanks.

    What does the server script output when you request the URL using wget or curl or lwp-get or GET?

        There is an error in your server, your server configuration, or your network setup. Consult with your network administrator about whether the network is a problem. Debug what the server is sending - maybe it is an error message. Look into the (web)server error logs. Apply some elimination to find out what causes the problem.
