[Qgis-user] Python Plugin utilising SOAP

Thu Aug 2 00:49:17 PDT 2012

I am trying to utilise data from this web service:

http://www.nbnws.net/ws_3_5/GatewayWebService?wsdl

The site says they are soap web services, which is why I am trying to
use suds or another python library. I have had more joy with SOAPpy but
still having issues.

I don't know what sort of data you want to post and get in web server.

SOAP is a bit old. REST API is the way to go now.
