Is this what has been causing the "You're not authorized" messages
I've been getting when trying to ack stuff?

The only change I see you've made is a change to service_desc to not
be feed through url_encode() first. Did that really fix it for you? If
what you're saying about it passing the service as the host name, I
can't see how stripping out the url_encode from your line would
resolve that issue, and could cause issues if you had special
characters in the service description.
