Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient(http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl) [soapclient.soapclient]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

This shows up when ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies is offline while editing or adding commerce profile.
I think the validation should be ommitted in such case.

kafitz CreditAttribution: kafitz commentedI saw a possible answer:
http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47584
The main idea is to make sure to prefix the constructor calls with @ and catch SoapFault exceptions. I'll try to create a patch.

kafitz CreditAttribution: kafitz commentedI created a new function for creating the connection with the VIES database. So it is possible the catch the faultstring and prevent unnecessary PHP warnings when connection is down
