PHP call to local .NET web service - php

Question

I'm doing all of this locally for testing purposes right now. I ran the service project in visual studio and have my local version of the site setup to make the call to the web service but it won't hit it.
Here's the call:
$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => "https://localhost:51063/Service1.asmx", 'uri' => 'http://localhost:51063/'));
$client->newMeeting(array('id' => '10000', 'location' => 'test', 'committee' => 'test', 'desc' => 'test', 'date' => '2011-08-01', 'duration' => '180', 'agenda' => '', 'notes' => '', 'agenda' => '', 'notes' => ''));
And using that I get this error:
Uncaught SoapFault
Could not connect to host

If I try to call it like this:
$client = new SoapClient("https://localhost:51063/Service1.asmx?WSDL");
I get a different error:
Uncaught SoapFault
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://97.67.111.2:51063/Service1.asmx?WSDL' : failed to load external entity "http://97.67.111.2:51063/Service1.asmx?WSDL"

Is this setup even possible? Or is there a way I can make the live site hit my local service?

Answer 1

Can you fetch that URL from the server PHP is on, using curl or something similar? Is there a firewall somewhere that blocks those high-numbered-post requests? Your PHP looks fine so I don't think you are doing anything wrong there.
