[Soap-Python] rpclib and Microsoft Office Research Service

[Burak Arslan]

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I've missed your message for some reason.

1)

<tns:RegistrationResponse xmlns:tns="urn:Microsoft.Search">

and

<RegistrationResponse xmlns="urn:Microsoft.Search">

are equivalent, so I don't think there's an issue there.


2)

The response you get is this:

<ProviderUpdate xmlns="urn:Microsoft.Search.Registration.Response">
<Status>SUCCESS</Status>
<Providers>
<Provider>
<Id>{f656bd32-8aac-476d-b705-54677ed14b05}</Id>
<Name>Microsoft Search Server 2010</Name>
<QueryPath>http://some.sharepoint.site.com/test/_vti_bin/search.asmx</QueryPath>
<Type>SOAP</Type>
<Services>
<Service>
<Id>{f656bd32-8aac-476d-b705-54677ed14b05}</Id>
<Name>Hackalot</Name>
<Category>INTRANET_GENERAL</Category>
<Description>This service allows you to search the site : 
Banana</Description>
<Copyright>Microsoft Search Server 2010</Copyright>
<Display>On</Display>
</Service>
</Services>
</Provider>
</Providers>
</ProviderUpdate>

which says SUCCESS in capital letters no less, so it doesn't look so bad 
to me :)

it is formatted the right way considering it's a string. if you want to 
get it as xml, you should use the AnyXml type. or in your user code, you 
can use lxml.etree.{from,to}string to convert  it back to an xml 
representation.

does this help?

best,
burak
