Package: libcsoap1 Version: 1.1.0-13 Severity: normal Below is part of the strace output from a call to soap_client_invoke(). As you can see it transfers data a byte at a time which causes a dramatic increase in the amount of CPU time used. If you try to transfer gigabytes of data via SOAP (which I want to do) then this will really hurt.
Please let me know if this is fixed in unstable or if there is a patch that I can apply to fix it. send(3, "Host: 10.0.0.2\r\n"..., 16, 0) = 16 send(3, "Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:57:18 G"..., 37, 0) = 37 send(3, "Content-Length: 605\r\n"..., 21, 0) = 21 send(3, "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n"..., 24, 0) = 24 send(3, "Connection: Close\r\n"..., 19, 0) = 19 send(3, "SoapAction: \r\n"..., 14, 0) = 14 send(3, "\r\n"..., 2, 0) = 2 send(3, "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV"..., 605, 0) = 605 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {9, 600000}) read(3, "H"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "T"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "T"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "P"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "/"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "1"..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "."..., 1) = 1 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {10, 0}) read(3, "1"..., 1) = 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libcsoap1 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libnanohttp1 1.1.0-13 shared nanohttp library from CSOAP ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library libcsoap1 recommends no packages. libcsoap1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
