I am trying to use Zeep to implement a SOAP client, as it seems the only maintained library at the moment:
- ZSI looked very good but its latest version on pypi dates 2006
- suds seemed to be a popular alternative, but the master is unmaintained since 2011 and there are a lot of forks out there but none seems "official" and "recent" enough to be used in a large project.
So, trying to use Zeep, I am stuck with the authentication required by the server to access the WSDL.
Such operation was quite easy with ZSI:
from ZSI.client import Binding
from ZSI.auth import AUTH
b = Binding(url='http://mysite.dom/services/MyWebServices?WSDL')
b.SetAuth(AUTH.httpbasic, 'userid', 'password')
and I can find something similar in __main__.py of Zeep:
from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlparse
from zeep.cache import InMemoryCache, SqliteCache
from zeep.client import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport
cache = SqliteCache() if args.cache else InMemoryCache()
transport_kwargs = {'cache': cache}
result = urlparse(args.wsdl_file)
if result.username or result.password:
transport_kwargs['http_auth'] = (result.username, result.password)
transport = Transport(**transport_kwargs)
client = Client(args.wsdl_file, transport=transport)
but that does not work in my case, I get an error:
Exception: HTTPConnectionPool(host='schemas.xmlsoap.org', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /soap/encoding/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f3dab9d30b8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out',))
