SOAP-Server on Windows 7 returns wiered stuff

[Wolfgang Orth]

Hello all,

today I wrote a new SOAP-based ClientServer combo using Clarion 6.3 and Nettalk 4.56. The development machine has XPpro.

Everthing is running fine on XP and Vista, but when I put the server on a Windows 7 ultimate machine the server acts silly! In this case I return a single line back like

 ®^ú|ç$^Àý.3s¦ìc¾_\¾W‚V}Â`À|Ã&9û2¤

If the SOAP-Client is installed in that Win7 machine and sends a request to the Server on the XP, then the result is as expected.

What is so different on Win7 compared to XP or Vista?

Hi Wolfgang.

My laptop is Win 7 - and there are lots of folk using Win 7, so I don't think it's win 7.

My guess would be that there's another program on the server, already on your port. So you're not getting a strange answer back from your program, you're getting a result from some completely different program.

cheers

Today it runs well on Windows 7 too.

Maybe that port was used by Skype yesterday, who knows?

Thanks, Bruce
