Error fetching http headers in SoapClient

Question

I\'m trying to invoke a WS over https on a remote host:remote port and I get:

Error fetching http headers

using the PHP5 SoapCli

Answer 1

I faced same problem and tried all the above solutions. Sadly nothing worked.

1. Socket Timeout (Didn't work)
2. User Agent (Didn't work)
3. SoapClient configuration, cache_wsdl and Keep-Alive etc...

I solved my problem with adding the compression header property. This is actually required when you are expecting a response in gzip compressed format.

//set the Headers of Soap Client. 
$client = new SoapClient($wsdlUrl, array(
    'trace' => true, 
    'keep_alive' => true,
    'connection_timeout' => 5000,
    'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
    'compression'   => SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_GZIP | SOAP_COMPRESSION_DEFLATE,
));

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
