The SOAP request initialization is taking too long to execute. We have analyzed the system and application logs which suggest that the issue resides with SOAP request initialization. We are using PHP5.3 to call .net web service using SOAP. Please suggest.
this may sound random, but it's quite possibly an HTTP+SSL (https) endpoint that you are requesting, and if my memory serves me correctly, there's an error in .net where it doesn't close the connection on SSL connections, and thus PHP on the other side waits for it to time out. Some googling of the PHP docs and stackoverflow should point you to the solution.
