Hello, I am trying to get at the raw response soap packet for a win32 application using HTTPRIO. Usually I use the OnAfterExecute event but in this case I think the server has got into trouble and returned some html. That leads to the following error and the OnAfterExecute does not fire Received Content of Invalid Content-Type setting: text/html - SOAP expects "text/xml" How do I trap the raw data returned to me? Thanks, Will. -- Back to top Jean-Marie Babet Guest Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:40 am    Post subject: Re: How to get the raw soap message?

Hello Will, The message you are seeing is at the transport level - THTTPReqResp object - used by the RIO. So the data has not made it back to the RIO yet. There's an event - OnReceivingData - on the THTTPReqResp object but it does not give access to the data... rather it gives access to the each successful read stat (it's used to display progress). The simplest approach would be to add a copy of SOAPHTTPTrans.pas to your project and set a breakpoint at the end of THTTPReqRes.Receive. The very last thing we do is call CheckContentType - the very method that's generating the message you're seeing. Just before this call, the 'Resp' TStream contains the data sent back to by WebService. I've never thought of *seeing* the data before it's confirmed to be XML but I can see how it would be useful in your case. However, typically this indicates a setup failure because even in the case where the service could not understand whatever we sent, it's required to send back XML - a SOAP fault. I've only seen services sent back HTML (or some other non-XML content-type) when I accidentally misconfigured the URL to the service. Anyway... let me know if the above does not help and we'll work out some other approach. Cheers, Bruneau.

I am having huge problems with the company that has written the web service. I just need to trap the html that is coming back in order to draw their attention to it.

Hi Will, Something I did while I used SOAP a lot was to load the SOAPrequest into a memo in the before execute and use this data with a plain http post using a indy client to the service. Catching the http response in a memo. I used this method extensively to debug a PHP webservices, that I was developing. procedure TForm5.HTTPRIO1BeforeExecute(const MethodName: string; var SOAPRequest: WideString); begin Memo2.Lines.Append(SOAPRequest ); end; Dave "Will Honor" <will24@(No Spam at all)Orange.net> wrote in message news:45f065a1$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Bruneau, Seeing the SOAP packets is very handy to debug webservices built with PHP, especially where they don't return the expected result yet.

I used this method extensively to debug a PHP webservices, that I was developing. I did that a lot too when I was doing interop testing. I had a little App that has two memos (etc) to display the request/response. One day the QA person saw this and he tweaked it (i.e. made it look nice:) and added it to the shipping sample. It's called PostSOAP and it probably still included although I have not checked recently (this goes back to 2002). Unfortunately, because PostSOAP uses a THTTPReqResp, it enforces content-type of 'text/xml' too :( Cheers, Bruneau.

Hello, Quote: Seeing the SOAP packets is very handy to debug webservices built with PHP, especially where they don't return the expected result yet. Yes, agreed! And I am considering changing that logic as per the request [so the event fires first]... I just need to make time for when I can write some tests as none of our regular unit-test cover that particular aspect [i.e. handling of non 'text/xml' data coming back]. Cheers, Bruneau. PS: Also, I regularly use proxyTrace - http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/pt.aspx. It's particularly useful when I'm using other SOAP libraries (say Axis/.NET/etc) and can't figure out the equivalent of 'OnBefore/AfterExecute'.

Pretty nice as a basis for a testing app, just add your own complex types, etc Cheers Dave Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi WebServices SOAP All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
