Hello, Python 2.7.1 Suds 0.4 Windows XP SP3 I have been using the suds client (suds.client.Client) for testing some SOAP interfaces and I have recently come across some unpredictable behaviour. Basically what is happening is I am *sometimes (more often than not)* unable to create a client from WSDL source. I guess an example would better shed light on what I mean. For example I run the following and I get this traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#15>", line 1, in <module> client = Client("http://localhost:8000/sms/soap/?wsdl") File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\client.py", line 112, in __init__ self.wsdl = reader.open(url) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\reader.py", line 152, in open d = self.fn(url, self.options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\wsdl.py", line 159, in __init__ self.build_schema() File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\wsdl.py", line 220, in build_schema self.schema = container.load(self.options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\schema.py", line 93, in load child.open_imports(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\schema.py", line 305, in open_imports imported = imp.open(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\sxbasic.py", line 542, in open result = self.download(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\sxbasic.py", line 563, in download return self.schema.instance(root, url, options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\schema.py", line 397, in instance return Schema(root, baseurl, options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\schema.py", line 226, in __init__ self.open_imports(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\schema.py", line 305, in open_imports imported = imp.open(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\sxbasic.py", line 542, in open result = self.download(options) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\xsd\sxbasic.py", line 560, in download d = reader.open(url) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\reader.py", line 79, in open d = self.download(url) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\reader.py", line 95, in download fp = self.options.transport.open(Request(url)) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\transport\https.py", line 60, in open return HttpTransport.open(self, request) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\transport\http.py", line 62, in open return self.u2open(u2request) File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\transport\http.py", line 118, in u2open return url.open(u2request, timeout=tm) File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 392, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 410, in _open '_open', req) File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 370, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 1186, in http_open return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req) File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 1157, in do_open r = h.getresponse(buffering=True) File "C:\Python27\lib\httplib.py", line 1013, in getresponse response.begin() File "C:\Python27\lib\httplib.py", line 402, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "C:\Python27\lib\httplib.py", line 366, in _read_status raise BadStatusLine(line) BadStatusLine: '' I can later call* the same* client creation code and successfully create a usable client. One last thing. Is there anyway to speed up the creation of the clients. Sometimes for a simple WSDL it takes up to 1 minute to create a client... Thanks, Craig
