[Mono-list] NOAA Soap Server and System.Web.Services problems

[Carl Olsen]

I went to the NOAA web site, and it mentions problems with .NET at the
bottom of the page, and says to use ASP.NET 2 Beta 3.

Right. The server is sending back a chunk header followed by a full
response. We should be throwing the same exception that MS.

Anyway, as a hack to make this work if they don't fix their server, you
can add these few lines to the wsdl generated file:
---------------
protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest (Uri uri)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) base.GetWebRequest (uri);
request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;
return request;
}
--------------

To force HTTP/1.0 protocol which prevents the server from using chunked
encoding.

I tried that with the NOAA service and I'm getting a '502 Bad Gateway'
error right now.
