XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP - exchange XML-SOAP via HTTP
XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP is a XML::Compile::Transport is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Extension
use XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP; my $http = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->new(@options); my $send = $http->compileClient(@options2); my $call = $wsdl->compileClient ( operation => 'some-port-name' , transport => $send ); my ($xmlout, $trace) = $call->($xmlin);
This module handles the exchange of (XML) messages, according to the rules of SOAP (any version). The module does not known how to parse or compose XML, but only worries about the HTTP aspects.
The keep_alive and timeout options are used when an LWP::UserAgent is created, and ignored when you provide such an object. In the latter case, the values for those are inquired such that you can see the setting directly from the passed object.
keep_alive
timeout
If you need to change UserAgent settings later, you can always directly access the LWP::UserAgent object via userAgent().
-Option --Defined in --Default address XML::Compile::Transport 'http://localhost' charset XML::Compile::Transport 'utf-8' keep_alive <true> timeout 180 user_agent <created when needed>
When connection can be re-used.
The maximum time for a single connection before the client will close it. The server may close it earlier. Do not set the timeout too long, because you want objects to be cleaned-up.
If you pass your own user agent, you will be able to configure it. Otherwise, one will be created with all the defaults. Providing your own user agents -or at least have a look at the configuration- seems like a good idea.

Returns the User Agent which will be used. You may change the configuration of the AGENT (the returned LWP::UserAgent object) or provide one yourself. See also new(user_agent).
Changes to the agent configuration can be made before or after the compilation, or even inbetween SOAP calls.
Compile an HTTP client handler. Returned is a subroutine which is called with a text represenation of the XML request, or an XML::LibXML tree. In SCALAR context, an XML::LibXML parsed tree of the answer message is returned. In LIST context, that answer is followed by a HASH which contains trace information.

Versions of XML::Compile, XML::Compile::SOAP, and LWP will be added to simplify bug reports.
What kind of interactie, based on the four types defined by WSDL(1): notification-operation (server initiated, no answer required), one-way (client initiated, no answer required), request-response (client initiated, the usual in both directions), solicit-response (server initiated "challenge").
notification-operation
one-way
request-response
solicit-response
With POST, you get the standard HTTP exchange. The M-POST is implements the (Microsoft) HTTP Extension Framework. Some servers accept both, other require a specific request.
POST
M-POST
With method M-POST, the header extension fields require (any) number to be grouped.
example: create a client
my $trans = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->new ( address => 'http://www.stockquoteserver.com/StockQuote' ); my $call = $trans->compileClient ( action => 'http://example.com/GetLastTradePrice' ); # $request and $answer are XML::LibXML trees! # see XML::Compile::SOAP::Client::compileClient() for wrapper which # converts from and to Perl data structures. my ($answer, $trace) = $call->($request); my $answer = $call->($request); # drop $trace info immediately
Adds some lines about module versions, which may help debugging or error reports. This is called when a new client or server is being created.
