I may've stumbled into the reason for the problem...

org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.invoke method seems to have a
variable "useFullURL" that's hard-coded to "false". Then when writeToSocket
is called from there it honors it...

Can anyone explain this behavior?

The access.log from the proxy server clearly shows that the axis message
received from wsrp4j/axis doesn't have the "authority" portion of the URL
(only the file portion)...

I have verified that the "cachedEndpoint" has the correct (complete) URL at
the time the call is invoked in the soapStub. I've tried to debug into a
few methods in org.apache.axis.client.Call (like setTargetEndpointAddress)
but I couldn't get matching axis source for the jar version included in
WSRP4J...

Here is the proxy access.log showing first, another program sending a post
through the proxy, then the wsrp4j request

192.168.31.59 - - [10/Feb/2005:16:35:59 -0800] "POST
http://shttp.msg.yahoo.com/notify/ HTTP/1.0" 200 4 200 4 75 75 438 338 513
312 0

216.131.225.152 - - [10/Feb/2005:16:36:00 -0800] "POST
/WSRPTestService/WSRPTestService.asmx HTTP/1.0" 500 - - - - - 359 - - - 0

I would really appreciate any help or suggestions on this...
Thanks

I'm testing the wsrp4j consumer (ProxyPortlet) in an environment that
requires going through a NetCache proxy server to get to the internet.
Whenever I request a producer on the internet I get an HTTP 500 on
the WSRP getServiceDescription. It turns out that the proxy
returns the error because it claims it received a bad URL. Upon
looking closer at the logs in the proxy it appears that axis isn't
sending complete URL's in the requests. The scheme, host and port and
missing. Only the "file" part of the URL is in the POST line (but the
request does have the correct "Host:" header).

My question: What's the right thing to do here?

1. Is axis correct in sending the first HTTP line without the
scheme://host:port?
2. Is the proxy correct in rejecting the request without them?
3. Is there some inappropriate coding in axis or wsrp4j that causes this?
4. Something else?

Thanks for your time.

p.s. Here's a sample of what I mean:
