[Fedora-suds-list] multipart reply with binary

I am new to suds and fairly new to SOAP in general. I am trying to use suds to interact with JasperServer's SOAP server. versions: Python 2.5 suds 0.3.5 (also tried 0.3.6) I am able to connect to the SOAP server and use simple commands but when I try to use the runReport method I get: xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: <unknown>:2:6: not well-formed (invalid token) It seems that the server is returning a multipart reply. One part of it is binary (an image). My first question is, should suds be able to handle this? Here the code I am using: from suds.client import Client client = Client('http://mxp.norco.com:8080/jasperserver/services/repository?wsdl',username='jasperadmin',password='xxxxxx') result = client.service.runReport('<request operationName="runReport" locale="en"><argument name="RUN_OUTPUT_FORMAT">HTML</argument><resourceDescriptor name="" wsType="" uriString="/reports/sales/cust_sales_chart" isNew="false"><label>null</label><parameter name="cust_no">1dunbcyc</parameter></resourceDescriptor></request>') If needed I can include the full TCP conversation but it is rather long. Here is just the beginning part of the reply: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/xml"; start="<454B124F1FC5659C9A0D323DE8BD639C>"; .boundary="----=_Part_12_32920944.1242418155865" Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 20:09:15 GMT Connection: close ------=_Part_12_32920944.1242418155865 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: <454B124F1FC5659C9A0D323DE8BD639C> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><so... soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://axis2.ws.jasperserver.jaspersoft.com"><runReportReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt; &lt;operationResult version=&quot;2.0.1&quot;&gt; .&lt;returnCode&gt;&lt;![CDATA[0]]&gt;&lt;/returnCode&gt; &lt;/operationResult&gt; </runReportReturn></ns1:runReportResponse></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> ------=_Part_12_32920944.1242418155865 Content-Type: image/png Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: <img_0_0_0> .PNG [...SNIP...] Thanks, Daryl.
