# An HTTP SOAP request is an HTTP request where the SOAP XML composes the body.
# This example demonstrates how to add a WS-Security header such as the following:
# 
# <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="SecurityToken-6138db82-5a4c-4bf7-915f-af7a10d9ae96">
#   <wsse:Username>user</wsse:Username>
#   <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest">CBb7a2itQDgxVkqYnFtggUxtuqk=</wsse:Password>
#   <wsse:Nonce>5ABcqPZWb6ImI2E6tob8MQ==</wsse:Nonce>
#   <wsu:Created>2010-06-08T07:26:50Z</wsu:Created>
# </wsse:UsernameToken>
# 

# First build some simple SOAP XML that has some header and body.
$xml = chilkat::CkXml->new();
$xml->put_Tag("env:Envelope");
$xml->AddAttribute("xmlns:env","http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("env:Header|n:alertcontrol",1,"xmlns:n","http://example.org/alertcontrol");
$xml->UpdateChildContent("env:Header|n:alertcontrol|n:priority","1");
$xml->UpdateChildContent("env:Header|n:alertcontrol|n:expires","2001-06-22T14:00:00-05:00");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("env:Body|m:alert",1,"xmlns:m","http://example.org/alert");
$xml->UpdateChildContent("env:Body|m:alert|m:msg","Pick up Mary at school at 2pm");
print $xml->getXml() . "\r\n";
print "----" . "\r\n";

# The following SOAP XML is built:

# 	<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
# 	 <env:Header>
# 	  <n:alertcontrol xmlns:n="http://example.org/alertcontrol">
# 	   <n:priority>1</n:priority>
# 	   <n:expires>2001-06-22T14:00:00-05:00</n:expires>
# 	  </n:alertcontrol>
# 	 </env:Header>
# 	 <env:Body>
# 	  <m:alert xmlns:m="http://example.org/alert">
# 	   <m:msg>Pick up Mary at school at 2pm</m:msg>
# 	  </m:alert>
# 	 </env:Body>
# 	</env:Envelope>
# 

# Now build the WSSE XML housing that we'll insert into the above SOAP XML at the end.

# 	<wsse:Security>
# 	  <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="WSU_ID">

# 	    <wsse:Nonce>NONCE</wsse:Nonce>
# 	    <wsu:Created>CREATED</wsu:Created>
# 	  </wsse:UsernameToken>
# 	</wsse:Security>
