'  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.
Dim xml As ChilkatXml
xml.Initialize
xml.Tag = "env:Envelope"
xml.AddAttribute("xmlns:env", "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope")
xml.UpdateAttrAt("env:Header|n:alertcontrol", True, "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", True, "xmlns:m", "http://example.org/alert")
xml.UpdateChildContent("env:Body|m:alert|m:msg", "Pick up Mary at school at 2pm")
Log(xml.GetXml)
Log("----")

'  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:Username>USERNAME</wsse:Username>
'  	    <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest">PASSWORD_DIGEST</wsse:Password>
'  	    <wsse:Nonce>NONCE</wsse:Nonce>
'  	    <wsu:Created>CREATED</wsu:Created>
'  	  </wsse:UsernameToken>
'  	</wsse:Security>

Dim wsse As ChilkatXml
wsse.Initialize
wsse.Tag = "wsse:Security"
wsse.UpdateAttrAt("wsse:UsernameToken", True, "xmlns:wsu", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd")
wsse.UpdateAttrAt("wsse:UsernameToken", True, "wsu:Id", "WSU_ID")
wsse.UpdateChildContent("wsse:UsernameToken|wsse:Username", "USERNAME")
wsse.UpdateAttrAt("wsse:UsernameToken|wsse:Password", True, "Type", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest")
wsse.UpdateChildContent("wsse:UsernameToken|wsse:Password", "PASSWORD_DIGEST")
wsse.UpdateChildContent("wsse:UsernameToken|wsse:Nonce", "NONCE")
wsse.UpdateChildContent("wsse:UsernameToken|wsu:Created", "CREATED")
Log(wsse.GetXml)
Log("----")

'  Insert the wsse:Security XML into the existing SOAP header:
Dim xHeader As ChilkatXml = xml.GetChildWithTag("env:Header")
xHeader.AddChildTree(wsse)


'  Now show the SOAP XML with the wsse:Security header added:
Log(xml.GetXml)
Log("----")

'  Now our XML looks like this:
'  	<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
'  	    <env:Header>
'  	        <n:alertcontrol xmlns:n="http://example.org/alertcontrol">

'  	        </n:alertcontrol>
'  	        <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">
