 New Comment:

PHP 5.3 indeed seems to request the WSDL using HTTP/1.1, I was wrong
about that, I'm sorry.

However, it works fine with other WSDLs which are sent chunked. There
seems to be something special about your setup which triggers this bug.
Could you make a dump of the HTTP transaction with a sniffer? Note that
you may have to disable the WSDL caching to force SoapServer to get the
WSDL over HTTP.

Ok I understand your point (that the WSDL server is supposedly at fault
for not providing an HTTP 1.0 response). 

I just tested again and watched my Apache access_log. With 5.2.10, the
request is sent from SoapServer using HTTP 1.0, and the response from
the WSDL server correctly includes a content-length header (and
everything works fine).

When I test with 5.3, SoapServer sends the request using HTTP 1.1
(according to the Apache log) and the response is chunk-encoded causing
SoapServer to error.

Therefore I believe that SoapServer in 5.3 is sending an HTTP 1.1
request but is unable to process an HTTP 1.1 response.

The specifications you supply do not describe how to retrieve the
WSDL.

In this case, the WSDL is retrieved using HTTP. I don't think it is
specified which HTTP version to use. The SoapServer class uses HTTP 1.0.
If the server serving the WSDL implements HTTP 1.0, it should send a
content-length header. If it does not implement HTTP 1.0, it should send
a 505 HTTP Version Not Supported.

Sjoerd,

Respectfully, I think you're wrong. I am *far* from being a SOAP
expert, but the specifications for SOAP 1.1[1] and for WSDL[2] both show
use of HTTP 1.1.

Thank you both for your feedback.

SOAP retrieves the WSDL using HTTP/1.0, which does not have chunked
transfers. Therefore, the server should provide a Content-length header.
If it does not do that, SoapServer can not load the WSDL correctly. This
is not a bug in PHP, since the content-length header is mandatory for
HTTP/1.0 messages which have a body.

You could implement/request the feature that PHP can load WSDLs even if
they don't have a content-length header, but it is not a bug in PHP
itself.

"Its not in the PHP 5.3 release, rather its a bug in the Zend
AutoDiscover class"

If it works fine in 5.2(.6) but not in 5.3 then something changed in
5.3 that made things break, which suggests a bug in 5.3.

If adding a content-length header fixes things then that's great as a
quick-fix, but SoapServer should be able to deal with chunk-encoded
responses which don't, by their nature, have a content-length.
