How do I call IBM IMM methods using SOAPpy?

I'm trying to use SOAPpy to call various SOAP methods of an IBM IMM (Integrated Management Module). Unfortunately I'm rather new to SOAP and can't figure it out at all.

I don't have any kind of WSDL, so I've had to resort to watching to see what my browser does when it makes the various requests.

The actual call that's made looks like:

POST /wsman HTTP/1.1

and the response:

I'm trying to generate this request properly using SOAPpy but I'm not get anywhere at all and I have no idea what to do or change to make this request. Here's what I've tried so far:

>>> sess = imm.ImmWeb()
Session ID: 8b3af28d-a746-4fc5-af02-b4560f85cac1
>>> server = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy('http://imm/wsman',namespace='http://www.ibm.com/iBMC/sp/Tasks')
>>> server.transport.cookies['session_id'] = '3f19329f-468b-4c86-b6e7-2197b1ed62aa'
>>> server.invoke('http://www.ibm.com/iBMC/sp/Tasks/GetKVMStatus', {})

SOAPpy.Errors.HTTPError: <HTTPError 400 Bad Request>

it will be much better to use the WSDL file on the remote server to specify the methods (functions) and their corresponding parameters and data types.

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to know exactly the name space, encoding and formatting of the SOAP connection to be established.

Try using:

SERVER=SOAPpy.WSDL.Proxy('http://remote.server.url/service.wsdl')

Using the SOAPpy.Proxy directly, will make it a necessity to add the correct parameters to the server that you are talking to.
