Hi @igm,

I tried vim25 on vmware ESXi 4.1, and got server error:

undefined TraversalSpec name

The root cause is that ESXi 4.1 cannot recognize following tags correctly:

<selectSet xmlns:XMLSchema-instance="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" XMLSchema-instance:type="TraversalSpec">

And it should be:

<selectSet xsi:type="TraversalSpec">

I tried go-lang XML tags, but failed to get it work. So I did a hack on service.go:

--- a/service.go
+++ b/service.go
@@ -45,6 +45,12 @@ func (s *Service) SoapRequest(body *Body) (*Body, error) {
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
+
+   //4.1 hacks
+   xmlEnvelope = []byte(strings.Replace(string(xmlEnvelope), "XMLSchema-instance:type", "xsi:type", -1))
+   xmlEnvelope = []byte(strings.Replace(string(xmlEnvelope), "xmlns:XMLSchema-instance=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"", "", -1))
+   xmlEnvelope = []byte(strings.Replace(string(xmlEnvelope), "<Body xmlns=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">", "<Body xmlns=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">", -1))
+
    req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", s.Url, bytes.NewReader(xmlEnvelope))
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err

It works for me on ESXi 4.1 & 5.1, but I don't think it's a good practice.

Hi @ikarishinjieva
let me look at this problem. However I haven't updated this library for a while as it seems there's an official library developed by VMWare https://github.com/vmware/govmomi

So I'm not sure I'll actively continue working on this project when there's a library directly from VMware.

Thank you, @igm .
I will try official library.
