Good Morning, Your webservice is in .NET APP or in PHP? When you call the WSDL from Browser you can see the xml? -----Mensagem original----- De: superpspace [mailto:fruitmixer@hotmail.com] Enviada em: terça-feira, 25 de junho de 2013 22:23 Para: soap@lists.php.net Assunto: SOAP-ERROR: Couldn't Load from external entity (Where endpoint resolves to another location) Hello everyone, I have a WSDL in the following URL format (obscured): https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName?wsdl that resolves to: https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName/another/diff/path/prefix_ServiceName.wsdl The WSDL has a line like this: <wsdl:import namespace="http://name/space/service/" location="ServiceName.wsdl"></wsdl:import> When loading the former URL into SoapClient, it complains like so: PHP Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName.wsdl' : failed to load external entity "https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName.wsdl" The reason i believe this happens is because it's trying to look for ServiceName.wsdl at the original location, ie. It is looking here: https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName.wsdl instead of the final resolved location, here: https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName/another/diff/path/ServiceName.wsdl As expected, if i pass the resolved URL into SoapClient, it works. This is not ideal because the resolved address can potentially change at any time. Is this a problem with SoapClient that can *and* need to be resolved? Your thoughts.
