; Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

; POST /WebServices/MFET/ HTTP/1.1
; Content-Type: text/xml
; SOAPAction: NewSubmission
;  
; <soapenv:Envelope
;   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
;   xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"
;   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
;   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
;   <soapenv:Header/>
;   <soapenv:Body>
;     <tem:NewSubmission>
;       <tem:UserName>yourusername</tem:UserName>
;       <tem:Password>yourpassword</tem:Password>
;       <tem:File xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64</tem:File>
;     </tem:NewSubmission>
;   </soapenv:Body>
; </soapenv:Envelope>

; In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
; string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
; First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
$oSbXmlFileData = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$bSuccess = $oSbXmlFileData.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/AL_SR_999802_test.xml","utf-8")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite("Failed to load XML file." & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oSbXmlFileData.Encode("base64","utf-8")

; Build the XMl that will be the body of the HTTP request.
$oXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")
$oXml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
$oXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
$oXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:tem","http://tempuri.org/")
$oXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:xsd","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
$oXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "soapenv:Header",""
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:UserName","yourusername"
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:Password","yourpassword"
$oXml.UpdateAttrAt("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File",True,"xsi:type","xsd:base64Binary")
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File",$oSbXmlFileData.GetAsString()

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oHttp.SetRequestHeader "SoapAction","NewSubmission"

$oSbXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$oXml.GetXmlSb($oSbXml)

$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpSb("POST","https://mattest.alabama.gov/WebServices/MFET/",$oSbXml,"utf-8","text/xml",$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("Response status code = " & $oResp.StatusCode & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Response body text:" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)

; The response will look like this:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
; <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
;     <s:Body>
;         <NewSubmissionResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
;             <NewSubmissionResult i:type="a:base64Binary" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">BASE64_RESULT</NewSubmissionResult>
;         </NewSubmissionResponse>
;     </s:Body>
; </s:Envelope>

; We can get the base64 result like this:
$oXmlResult = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")
$oXmlResult.LoadXml($oResp.BodyStr)
$oSbResult = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$oSbResult.Append($oXmlResult.GetChildContent("s:Body|NewSubmissionResponse|NewSubmissionResult"))
$oSbResult.Decode("base64","utf-8")
ConsoleWrite("Decoded result:" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($oSbResult.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

; A sample of a decoded error response:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
