Re: RES: [SOAP] SOAP-ERROR: Couldn't Load from external entity (Whereendpoint resolves to another location)

Hi Matt,

The imported WSDL name is arbitrary so I don't believe it would affect 
the outcome of this situation. As is the contents (I believe).

To be clear, I've been asked to use the following WSDL URL:

     [1] https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName?wsdl

There are two WSDLs at the following location

     [2] 
https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName/another/diff/path/prefix_ServiceName.wsdl
     [3] 
https://provider.web-service.domain/path/ServiceName/another/diff/path/ServiceName.wsdl

* [1] resolves to [2]; Then
* [2] imports [3]

When passing [1]  into SoapClient(), it FATALs (as described earlier)

When passing [2] into SoapClient(), it works.
