Soap. unspecified error and web service

[flintstone42]

I am trying to access to web service in VFP useing the
follwing code:

oProxy = CREATEOBJECT("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
oProxy.MSSoapInit("

http://www.foxcentral.net/foxcentral.wsdl")

On a Windows XP machine (with .net framework installed)
I get "Unspecified error" when run the first time.
If I rerun the program a second time it works.

On a Windows 98 and Millenium machine (with .net framework installed)
I get "Unspecified error" ever time I run this on a 98 or millenim.

I get the same problem if I use
loWS = NEWOBJECT("Wsclient",HOME()+"ffc\_webservices.vcx")
loWS.cWSName = "ebaypricewatcher"
oProxy = loWS.SetupClient("

http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/EBayWatcherService.wsdl",

"eBayWatcherService", "eBayWatcherPort")

It does not seem to matter which web service or method I use

Any Ideas?

What version and service pack level of VFP are you using? What version of SOAP do you have installed on the machines in question?

I have am using VFP 7.0 SP1,
The version of Soap (and I have tried all of the ones below)
soap toolkit 2.0
soap toolkit 3.0
.net framework version 1.1 redist

As per Microsoft, soap toolkit has been retired on 7/1/2003,
In favor of .net framework (which has been installed).

I don't know what to tell you. I just tried those two lines on my XP Pro system, and they work just fine in both 7.0 SP1 and 8.0 SP1. I'm using Soap 3.0 - version 3.0.1325.0 (C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSoap\Binaries\MSSOAP30.dll)

Have you got any possible firewall or proxy server problems?

No,
Do you have .net framework installed on your XP?

If I cannot access the website (or wsdl) file
I get a different error (WSDL not found...)

I can get it working on XP (the second time it is run)
So I do not think it is a proxy or firewall problem.)

But all of my clients are 98/Me machines and I need it
working there

Any Ideas?

Currently this system has the original .NET framework (VS .NET 7.0). No ideas right now - I hope someone else jumps in.
