Hi;



I am trying to use a Perl-server and a .Net client. My program works

fine when i specify the urn to be a single name only

(dispatch_to("Search") and 'urn:Search'), but when I try a urn like

'url:Microsoft.Search' things stop to work.



A strange thing is that the .Net client (Office2003) leaves no

err-msg. in the log, but the perl client keeps telling me about a

"Illegal namespace identifier" in the http-log.



The .Net soap err-msg. caims there is no method Registration in the

Microsoft::Search-object.



Strange, isn't it?



I would be very, very happy for a clue (I do not wan't to write this

part on .Net...)



Cheers,

My program looks like this:



------------------- Client.pl (test only) ----------



#!/usr/bin/perl



use SOAP::Lite +trace;



print SOAP::Lite

     ->proxy('http://192.168.250.6/cgi-bin/Registration.pl')

     ->uri('urn:Microsoft.Search')

     ->Registration("")

     ->result;





-------- Server located in /srv/www/cgi-bin/-----------------



#!/usr/bin/perl



use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

use lib '/srv/www/cgi-bin';

use lib '/srv/www/cgi-bin/Microsoft';

use lib "./";

use Microsoft::Search;

use SOAP::Lite +trace;



SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI

     -> dispatch_with({

	 'urn:Microsoft.Search' => 'Microsoft::Search'

	 })

     -> handle;



(I have tried with dispatch_to - both dynamical and static binding

without any luck).



------- Package, located in /srv/www/cgi-bin/Microsoft ----

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

use lib '/srv/www/cgi-bin';

use lib '/srv/www/cgi-bin/Microsoft';

use lib "./";



package Search;

require Exporter;



our @ISA = qw(Exporter);

our @EXPORT = qw(hi CacheDuration Registration);



sub hi {

   return "hello happy, world";

}



sub CacheDuration { return 86400; }



sub Registration($) {

     my $in_xml =shift;

     undef $/;

     open(my $fh, '/home/pe/reg.xml');

     my $ret = <$fh>;

     open(THELOG, '>>/tmp/soaplog');

     print THELOG "Function called " . time() . "\n";

     return $ret;



}
