NAME

       XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP - exchange XML-SOAP via HTTP

INHERITANCE

        XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP
          is a XML::Compile::Transport
          is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Extension

SYNOPSIS

        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);

        $wsdl->compileCalls(transport => $send);

DESCRIPTION

       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.

METHODS

       Extends "METHODS" in XML::Compile::Transport.

   Constructors
       Extends "Constructors" in XML::Compile::Transport.

       XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->new(%options)
           Create a SOAP-over-HTTP handler, implemented as a wrapper around LWP::UserAgent.

           If you need to change UserAgent settings (for instance at runtime), you can always directly access
           the internal "LWP::UserAgent" object via userAgent().

           Warning: The "keep_alive" and "timeout" options are only used when an default internal
           "LWP::UserAgent" is created; this is only once in a program.  Later instantiations of this ::SOAPHTTP
           will share that default agent, even though these passed parameters have different parameters.  If
           that is not what you want, then pass your own "user_agent" object to the constructor to avoid the use
           of the default.

            -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>

           address => URI|ARRAY-of-URI
           charset => STRING
           keep_alive => BOOLEAN
             When connection can be re-used.

           timeout => SECONDS
             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.

           user_agent => LWP::UserAgent object
             If you do not pass your own user agent, a default will be created for you.

           Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Transport

       $obj->charset()
           Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Transport

       $obj->defaultUserAgent()
       XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->defaultUserAgent()
           [3.07] Returns the used LWP::UserAgent, available after the compilation of the SOAP call(s).

       $obj->userAgent( [$agent|<undef, %options>] )
           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.

   Handlers
       Extends "Handlers" in XML::Compile::Transport.

       $obj->compileClient(%options)
           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.

            -Option    --Defined in             --Default
             action                               ''
             header                               <created>
             hook        XML::Compile::Transport  <undef>
             kind                                 'request-response'
             method                               'POST'
             mime_type                            <depends on soap version>
             mpost_id                             42
             soap                                 'SOAP11'
             xml_format  XML::Compile::Transport  0

           action => URI
           header => HTTP::Headers object
             Versions of XML::Compile, XML::Compile::SOAP, and LWP will be added to simplify bug reports.

           hook => CODE
           kind => DIRECTION
             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").

           method => 'POST'|'M-POST'
             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.

           mime_type => STRING
           mpost_id => INTEGER
             With method "M-POST", the header extension fields require (any) number to be grouped.

           soap => 'SOAP11'|'SOAP12'|OBJECT
           xml_format => 0|1|2

           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

       $obj->headerAddVersions($header)
       XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->headerAddVersions($header)
           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.
