Thanks Dave for the reply. I downloaded wireshark, and I am not seeing the packet, and sorting by destination address does not show the packet. now it may be there and I am not looking at Wireshark the right way. I went and tried a half dozen other open source / free SOAP web services from weather, to zipcodes, to stock tickers, to math etc and nothing worked. I sure do not have the skillset to go deep into the code to troubleshoot and I am inclined to think either I am dong something wrong or in-fact the SOAP client is broken. I am a little frustrated as this should not be that difficult. Perhaps you or someone might share a sample SOAP client actually working from an Open Source SOAP provider. I think I have a good handle on how to do it, but either I am being clumsy or there is something broken. Here are two...
