Hi.
If I am trying to call a .NET web service but this results in the error

suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Server was unable to process request. --->
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

I do not have access to the  .NET server code , but I 've got  a sample request.xml file and the difference i notice
with what suds sends is   at namespaces  that suds  creates .



The sample request looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ProcessTransaction xmlns="http://piraeusbank.gr/paycenter">
<TransactionRequest xmlns="http://piraeusbank.gr/paycenter/1.0">
<Header>
<RequestType>SALE</RequestType>




What I have done so far and sent through suds (got it with client.last_sent() )
is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://piraeusbank.gr/paycenter/1.0" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns2="http://piraeusbank.gr/paycenter" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
   <ns1:Body>
      <ns2:ProcessTransaction>
         <ns2:TransactionRequest>
            <ns2:TransactionRequest>
               <ns0:Header>
                  <ns0:RequestType>SALE</ns0:RequestType>


as you see suds adds some namespaces at the top and uses each before a node name like this :
ns1:Body , ns2:TransactionRequest  and so on.


So I am asking:
1. Can I stop suds creating namespaces before each node name.
2. Can I debug more what is going on or there is no use since I cannot have access to the server code.
3. Suds also adds a self closing <SOAP-ENV:Header/> .


Web services were supposed to be created for interoperability , but i don't know how is this supposed to be done since most of the times you trying to communicate you get a generic error from the remote server..

Thanks all .
