I'm trying to debug a case where CiviSMTP's config screen gives the cryptic error:

it appears that the proxy URL you gave is invalid

While this is nice to know, it would be more useful if the error gave some idea as to why that is, so we could actually fix the problem :-)

I'm more than happy to run a bit of SoapClient code so I can debug the server.  But without more info, I'm blind, and can't be of much help.

There's something very old up on the wiki to show an example of what I mean, at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/SOAP+Access+to+CiviCRM+API:

<?
$client =& new SoapClient(null, array(
           'location' => 'http://localhost/drupal/modules/civicrm/extern/soap.php',
           'uri' => 'http://localhost')
        );
 
$key = $client->authenticate( DRUPAL_USER_NAME, DRUPAL_USER_PASSWORD );
$params = array('contact_id' => 101);
$returnProperties = null;
$result =& $client->get_contact( $key, $params, $returnProperties );
 
print_r($result);
?>

Ideally, I'd want to know what to use for location/uri, and what to call in order to get the CiviMail processing code to say if it's responsive or not.

At this point, I can tell that my CiviMail endpoint at soap.php responds over HTTP (the logs indicate the endpoint is found, and the server returns 200 OK), but I don't have a clue what else CiviSMTP's automation expects to see but does not see.  Anything that will make that more obvious would be a time saver for everybody involved.
