# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# 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.
my $xml = Chilkat2::Xml->new;
$xml->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(), "\n";
print "----\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>
