-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Konstantinos
I am not able to reproduce the error. I can use different search queries of different length, etc. The error is coming from libcurl and, if I have gotten things the right way around, it basically means that the write handler callback didn't handle the entire collection of text it was given. Can you curlPerform(url="http://soap.search.msn.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl";, httpheader=c(Accept="text/xml", Accept="multipart/*", 'Content-Type' = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"), postfields=body, writefunction = function(txt) { print(txt) ; nchar(txt)}, verbose = FALSE ) and verify that the we do get the point where we are processing the return from the server (and not failing in writing our request to the server). If the error is in handling the response from the server, then it may be that we have to look at the string encodings, etc. D.
