Hello, I am trying to send a simple SOAP message to an Apache server. I got the HTTP library from the XML-RPC library and thought this would make an easy client. However, I'm having two problems. First, even though I am sending an accurate Content-Length header with my POST message, the server is timing out and returning a 500 Internal Server Error document. Second, after reading that error document, Network.HTTP is generating an error of its own. Here's an strace illustrating it: recvfrom(3, "ssResponse> \n", 1000, 0, NULL, N ULL) = 47 recvfrom(3, "", 1000, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0 shutdown(3, 1 /* send */) = 0 shutdown(3, 0 /* receive */) = 0 close(3) = 0 ioctl(1, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 fcntl(2, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE|0x800 0) write(2, "\nFail: ", 7) = 7 write(2, "Network.Socket.recv: end of file (end of file)\n", 47) = 47 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 I *think* that what's happening is that ghc threw an exception for the empty recvfrom response, then the exception handler closed the conection, and then the exception was prnited to stderr. Oh, tcpdump verified that both client and server are sending Connection: close headers. Any ideas? -- John
