hi,

Anyone solved this error before?

soapclient: got wsdl error: HTTP ERROR: Error using gzinflate to un-gzip the payload wsdl error: HTTP ERROR: Error using gzinflate to un-gzip the payload

Setup:
1. client.php:
$client = new soapclient('https://'.$username.':'.$password.'@www.xxxxxxx.com/ws/server.php?wsdl', true);

2. .htaccess on server is setup as follows:
AuthUserFile /home/xxxxxxx/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require user wsuser
</Limit>

is the url setup correctly?

thanks!
Jonathan

This was a error in one of my server.php function's syntax.

Now I am getting a 401 error:

2007-08-19 19:00:26.052578 soap_transport_http: Got 401 Authorization Required with WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Protected Area"
2007-08-19 19:00:26.052641 soap_transport_http: HTTP authentication failed
2007-08-19 19:00:26.052707 soap_transport_http: end of send()
2007-08-19 19:00:26.052837 soapclient: Error: HTTP Error: HTTP authentication failed

my (apache 2.0) htaccess is setup as follows:
AuthUserFile /home/xxxxxxxx/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require user wsuser
</Limit>

and my client is calling the wsdl like this:
$password = urlencode("**********");
$username = "wsuser";
$wsdl = "https://".$username.":".$password."@www.xxxxxx.com/ws/server.php?wsdl";
$client = new soapclient($wsdl, true);
$client->setCredentials($username, $password);

any help is much appreciated!

probably you need to enable WSDL file retrival without authentication Smile or have client-side copy of it and use it instead of the WSDL url

You might also want to put this into your client:

Code:
$client->setCredentials($username, $password, "basic"); 


I went through something like what you are doing, a https connection and if you just set your information the way you did, it's still not enough, you will need to put in the information that I have above after you declare your client with your username password.

hi,

thanks for the responses!

1. I tried adding "basic" but still getting http authentication error.
2. An interesting suggestion to keep the wsdl localhost from the clients perspective. Is that a known workaround? I'm just wondering if that implies a bug in nusoap?

I am also trying the other authentication methods: 'digest' and 'allow from ip'

thanks again!

just to make sure:

1. did you use
$client = new soapclient('https://'.$username.':'.$password.'@www.xxxxxxx.com/ws/server.php?wsdl', true);

and
2. did you also use
$client->setCredentials($username, $password, "basic");

I had to use both to make it work when going through https

I got it to work by using access control in the .htaccess as opposed to

AuthType Basic
AuthName <auth name>
Order allow,deny
Allow from <IP>
Satisfy any

This works for me as I am only ever calling the webservice from a limited set of IPs.

thanks!
