Python调用web service

使用Python下的httplib模块来进行远程service的调用：

基本步奏

1、获取到远程主机的连接

webservice = httplib.HTTP("www.webxml.com.cn")

2、设置请求方式

webservice.putrequest("POST", "/WebServices/WeatherWebService.asmx")

3、设置http请求头信息

webservice.putheader("Host", "www.webxml.com.cn")

webservice.putheader("User-Agent", "Python Post")

webservice.putheader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8")

webservice.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(SoapMessage))

用来标记这是一个SOAP请求，设置SOAP请求地址，为Host/请求的webservice方法
webservice.putheader("SOAPAction",SOAP)

webservice.endheaders()

3、发送请求

webservice.send(SoapMessage)

4、获取响应信息

statuscode, statusmessage, header = webservice.getreply()

5、获取响应结果

reshtml=webservice.getfile().read()

附代码：
