SOAP 1.1 "Client Fault" Error

Question

I get the following error when I run a web service client that contacts a remote web service server:

SOAP 1.1 fault: SOAP-ENV:Client[no subcode]
"Client fault"
Detail: [no detail]

I have looked at the client and the server and I can find no faults. Other web server clients can contact web services on the server no problem. The code to the web service client is here, but more than that, I'm actually just wondering how to go about debugging a problem like this one. The web service client and server were constructed using the gSOAP toolkit.

Also, could it have something to do with web service name spaces? I use the ns namespace for all of my webservice applications. See this.

It is likely that there was an EOF or interruption before the response message was fully delivered to the client. Without further details there is no way of knowing for sure.

I suggest to compile the client with -DDEBUG (macro DEBUG set) to generate log files. The log files will be helpful to determine the cause of the problem.

Use the latest version of gSOAP if possible.
