Description:
------------
I have a WCF web service written in .NET that has different endpoints. I 
want .NET clients to be able to talk to it using nettcp (a propietary 
microsoft protocol) and PHP to be able to talk to it using basicHttp 
(soap 1.1). However, if WSDL contains any endpoints other than http or 
https endpoints I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: PHP-SOAP doesn't support 
transport 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/soap/tcp'

I think the following should occur:

If no endpoint is explicitly specified in the constructor, PHP should 
pick the first compatible endpoint available in the wsdl and use it. If 
the endpoint is explicitly declared in the constructor, then PHP should 
not care about the available endpoints.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// .NET Service that this calls exists at http://github.com/zippy1981/EchoService
$client = new SoapClient
        ('http://localhost:8731/EchoService/?wsdl',
         array(
                'location' => 'http://localhost:8731/EchoService/Basic',
                'trace' => true,
                'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
                'connection_timeout' => 5
        )
);

echo $client->echo(array('request' => "Hello World"))->EchoResult;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
c:\php\php.exe EchoClient.php
Hello World

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: PHP-SOAP doesn't support 
transport 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/soap/tcp'

I also reported this on stack overflow. If anyone has any suggestions 
for workarounds, especially if there workaround on the .NET side feel 
free to post them there.

as far as I understand, Microsoft TCP transport spec is a private 
interface for communicating between .Net server/clients. I would expect 
that you will need SOAP/TCP as end point for communicating between php 
client and .Net server. 

Af course,my knowledge might be outdated on this.

It seems I was not clear in my original ticket.

My soap service has two end points. One is http (soap 1.1). The other 
is nettcp, microsoft private protocol.

PHP throws an error when I parse the WSDL simply because it contains 
an endpoint it can't connect to. This is in spite of the following 
four facts:

1) There is a http endpoint it knows how to connect to in the WSDL
2) I override the WSDL endpoints in the soap constructor.
3) A soap client only needs to connect to one endpoint in a WSDL to 
communicate with it

If I manually edit the WSDL so that the nettcp endpoint is no longer 
advertised, but it still exists, PHP will connect to it fine.

thanks for the clarification. if you can provide a test case /script , it would help us to work on this. thanks again for taking time for following up on this. your help will definitely help PHP make better !

Thanks for your reply.

On my initial report I posted an example client. In a comment in the 
example client is a link to a github repo with a .NET web service that 
causes this issue (e.g. config file was bound to nettcp):

http://github.com/zippy1981/EchoService

Inside the .net service is also a copy of the PHP client.

The .NET code can be compiled on any windows machine with the free IDE 
SharpDevelop (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/)

I can provide a manually generated wsdl  with false endpoints if needed. 
I'll gladly help test a fix or provide a mock if needed.

Below is a patch that helps to fix the behavior. The following problems remain:

1) If the wsdl contains only non http endpoints, and the location parameter is 
not specified, a proper error message is not generated.
2) If the wsdl contains only non http endpoints, and the location parameter is 
specified, the error "Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] Function ("echo") 
is not a valid method for this service in File.php:21" is displayed.
