How to check the SOAP port to see if it is actively listening
Resolution
In order to see if SOAP is actively listening, open a browser and go to [the IP address of the PO server in question], [the port that soap is open on]/soap
Example:
http://POipaddress:soap_port/soap
http://10.1.28.10:7191/soap
This will return something that looks like the following:
Example:
http://POipaddress:soap_port/soap
http://10.1.28.10:7191/soap
This will return something that looks like the following:
HTTP/1.1 200
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:17:08 GMT
Server: NetWare GroupWise POA 7.0.3
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 268
Pragma: no-cache
59905

Otherwise, if SOAP is not active on that port, you will get a page cannot be displayed error.
