Sorry, it's my first Elisp contribution (anywhere).  I'm still
learning. The warnings disappeared due to the code changes discussed
further below.

I don't think debbugs.gnu.org currently serves a WDSL.  If it does,
the SOAP library may be using a GET request. A "411" missing
Context-Length header could mean the wrong request type.

I created a file suitable for bugs.debian.org and asked Don Armstrong
to please serve it at any URL, but have not heard back.

I will also send here, under separate cover a file suitable for
debbugs.gnu.org.

This updated patch series replaces the local wdsl object with caching.
(Thanks, wasamasa!)  I like that solution much better.  Please let me
know what you think.

It may be sufficient now. The cache is an alist holding any
"debbugs-ports" the user may desire.

I don't think that's still needed, is it?

Kind regards

Felix Lechner (5):
  Don't hardcode gnu.org as debbugs-port for Gnus interface.
  Fix docstring for :affects.
  Fix description in docstring for debbugs-ports.
  Bring labels for debbugs-cache-expiry in line with docstring.
  Download WSDL specification dynamically from selected server.
