SoapFault exception: Could not connect to host

Question

Sometimes fail to call the web service.

This problem happens all the time.

What could be the problem?

Error:
    SoapFault exception: [HTTP]          


        

Answer 1

For those who struggled the same as me with laravel artisan console command that makes a lot of requests to same wsdl of external soap server and then after some time fails with Could not connect to host error.

The problem was because I was creating new SoapClient instance each time before request was made. Do not do that. Create it once and make each request from the same client.

Hope it helps.
