Hello Nivin,

Could you please hit the "switch to copy-and-paste view" link at the top of the tradeback and copy that? The bottom of a traceback is often the most useful for debugging.

Feel free to paste it or relevant code at github gist and send the link if you want to preserve formatting.

Nivin and Shinto,

You are forgetting to instantiate the HTTPConnection object:

Exemple:

import httplib

from xml.dom import minidom

http = httplib.HTTPConnection("http://mydomain.com")

http.request("POST", "/path/to/my/webservice", body=xml, headers = {

"Host": "myservername",

"Content-Type": "text/xml; charset=UTF-8",

"Content-Length": len(xml)

})

print minidom.parseString(http.getresponse().read())

So it seems like the problem is that you are doing `import http` on line 24 of /home/akhil/Documents/NIVIN/NIVIN/svn/CrossFraudet/branches/V2.1.0/crossfraudet/cdrimport/views/fraud_summary_view.py rather than `import httplib`. Python2 doesn't have a module in the standard library named `http`, only `httplib`.

As an aside, if you are connecting to a SOAP service, you might consider using requests.py or SUDS.

Actually, please listen to Guilherme over me; He seems to have correctly spotted the omission.

And you should probably use suds for soap based apis.
