From 'man n http' on my RH system...

Http(n)                      Tcl Built-In Commands                     
 
______________________________________________________________________________
 
NAME
       Http - Client-side implementation of the HTTP/1.0 protocol.
 
SYNOPSIS
       package require http ?2.4?

BTW, could you show the code required to 'require' Tclsoap?

.. do u think its a namespace issue? tclsoap works fine outside of oacs.. any clues what i can try and tinker with to get it to work?

I did this to get package require to work for me...

global tcl_version
global tcl_library
global tcl_platform
global auto_path
set tcl_pkgPath /usr/share
set tcl_library [file join $tcl_pkgPath tcl${tcl_version}]
set tcl_platform(platform) "unix"
set auto_path [list /usr/share/tcl8.3 /usr/lib]
source [file join $tcl_library init.tcl]

package require SOAP

PLUS I had to edit the init.tcl file and remove set errorCode "" and set errorInfo "" (or wrap them in an if !info exists etc)

Ok i fixed it .. i had to manually call http::configure from my tcl script... now i have another problem. I can do the soap call but i get a Request Error:

Server response is not well-formed XML.
response was <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:doGoogleSearchResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:GoogleSearch" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

............ ie the whole google response was outputted ...

while executing

invoked from within
"invoke2 $procVarName $reply"

Hi Andrew,

I'm trying tclsoap with aolserver 4 and fortunately I have not had any problem with "package require SOAP". I simply put this command in one sourced tcl file:

ns_eval package require SOAP

but I'm getting the same problem invoking a web service that works just fine with tclsh, i.e. "Server response is not well-formed XML."

I tracked down the problem to the parse_soap_response proc, but before hacking it I wonder if you have already foun a solution.

Hi Claudio,

Did you manage to get tclsoap working in aolserver?

Nick.

Hi Nick,

I didn't have the time to experiment tclsoap, but I'm succesfully using the excellent William Byrne's soap-gateway in a couple of sites.
