[AG-DEV] AccessGrid API and PHP with SOAP

[Derek Piper]

	Hi,

	I have a few questions for the AG developers about writing tools to 
interoperate with the AccessGrid toolkit.
	I looked over the API documentation, with an eye to the Venue Server 
section. In my previous posts on the subject you may remember I was 
looking to interface to the Venue Server for security purposes, so 
that's what I'm trying this against.
	I am using nuSOAP for PHP, which is apparently a very good SOAP 
implementation and the client/server examples work fine for me, so I am 
confident that it works okay.
	In accessing my test venue server URL of: 
https://dcpiper.informatics.indiana.edu:8000/VenueServer

	I get:

...
2005-06-02 10:17:17.994245 soap_transport_http: cURL ERROR: 35: Unknown 
SSL protocol error in connection to dcpiper.informatics.indiana.edu:8000
url: https://dcpiper.informatics.indiana.edu:8000/VenueServer
http_code: 0
header_size: 0
...

	I'm wondering about the 'unknown SSL protocol error'? Is there some 
strangeness to the whole globus stuff that prevents a 'standard' library 
like curl from accessing its https URLs?
	Has anyone else played about with SOAP and the AG toolkit? I'm even 
wondering if even I need the URL to be different for use with SOAP 
instead of a VenueManangement tool.

	I'd appreciate any light anyone can throw on it.

	Thanks,

	Derek
