Nope. Not working for me, either. Tried from both CFMX and
BlueDragon and got 502 proxy errors (after over a couple minutes wait). It does
indeed appear that something's amiss at that server.
For anyone interested in whether the call was correct, the
first thing to do whenever one is having trouble with web services is to browse
the WSDL that's returned from the URL being queried. In Rod's case,
that's:
http://www.xmethods.net/sd/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl
Then you can confirm a) that it's a value URL at all (which
it is in this case) and b) whether the methods and properties used (getRate,
country1, and country2 in his example) are valid (and in his case, they are). Of
course, you can't know from the WSDL whether the values for the properties are
valid, but let's assume they are from the docs. Anyway, something is amiss on
that server. Too bad, as those xmethods.net examples are often used in
examples.
As an aside, I'll add that I'll be speaking on CFML web
services (creating and consuming), in both beginner and intermediate levels, at
the CFUnited conference at the end of this month, for any making it up. Long way
from Oz, I'll grant! We'll have a stubby for ya'll. :-) No VB, Carlton, or
Toohey's to be had easily in DC, sadly.

webservice
It seems to me the xmethods currency conversion
service is having issues. I downloaded and ran Ben Forta's sample code that
consumes this webservice with no luck. I then checked and then changed
the URL to the new one with again no luck. Some sample code below, can anyone
run this successfully? I seem to get proxy errors
http://www.xmethods.net/sd/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl"
METHOD="getRate"
RETURNVARIABLE="aRate">
VALUE="United States"/>
VALUE="Australia"/>
I'd appreciate any help with this.

Have you checked out those at xmethods.net? They're the
classics used often by most getting started with (or demonstrating) web
services. There are several there, especially if you take the link at the
bottom of the page for "full list".
