Unable to connect with web service

zak100 · 09-16-2014, 12:39 AM

Hi,
I am trying to run a program which i have downloaded from net:

Code:

[lab6@localhost Sir]$ perl soap2.pl
500 Can't connect to services.xmethods.net:80 (Bad hostname) at soap2.pl line 6.
[lab6@localhost Sir]$

The code is:

Code:

use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
my $service = new SOAP::Lite
-> uri('urn:xmethods-Temperature')
-> proxy('http://services.xmethods.net/soap/servlet/rpcrouter');
my $result = $service->getTemp(SOAP::Data->type(string=>'08736'));

unless ($result->fault) {
print $result->result();
}
else {
print join ',',
$result->faultcode,
$result->faultstring,
$result->faultfactor,
$result->faultdetail;
}

Can somebody tell me about some other service which is currently available. Please guide me.

Zulfi.

Why not search for them using the key words web service. There are a few listed here.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Sorry, I cant find any web service in your link. However when i searched i got:

Code:

 http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL

It says WSDL. I am using soap. How to invoke this web service from my code?

Aren't these web services?
Web services that use markup languages

There are a number of web services that use markup languages:

JSON-RPC
JSON-WSP
Web template
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) from the W3C
XML Interface for Network Services (XINS) provides a POX-style Web service specification format
Web Services Conversation Language (WSCL)
Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) (superseded by BPEL)
WS-MetadataExchange
Representational state transfer (REST) versus remote procedure call (RPC)
XML-RPC - XML - Remote Procedure Call

Why not read the manuals and do that yourself? You can always post a question here if the instructions are not clear. You might as well learn to do it yourself, right?

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that Forums are also a great source of learning. Along with this google search can also provide valuable material. I bought 3 books for learning Web Services. First i tried to install it on Windows but it didnt work but then i was able to install it on Fedora. But I cant run any program. You know learning in programming context starts when you are able to run the 1st program. I am still not able to succeed in this. That's why i have posted on this forum.

That's all very well but sentences like this:

and this

and finally this

are not informative and give us no clue about what you did and how your system responded to your actions. If you can tell us what web service program you installed on Fedora and how you installed it. If you can tell us what commands you used to run the program what error messages those commands caused, then someone might have an idea about what your problem is and how to solve it. As things stand now, it remains a complete mystery.

Hi,
Thanks. Please tell me what other information you need in this particular thread. I have shown you the code, the command which i used to compile and the error which is generated. Kindly guide me what else you need in this regard.
