I've looked at the SOAP services at xmethods.com. Most of
them run at 80, but others run at 82, and 83 etc. All the
ones I've tried at 80 have worked. At other ports I've had
no luck.
Eg: http://sal006.salnetwork.com:82/bin/converter.cgi
I appear to be opening a port at 82, but it just times out.
I guess I need to serve my request via a proxy to see what
I'm really sending. Since I don't even get a server error
back, it's probable I'm not opening the port :-(
