* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Also see Chilkat's Online WSDL Code Generator
* to generate code and SOAP Request and Response XML for each operation in a WSDL.
* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* 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.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
lnSuccess = loSbXml.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/AL_SR_999802_test.xml","utf-8")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Failed to load XML file."
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loSbXml.Encode("base64","utf-8")

* Build the XMl that will be the body of the HTTP request.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml')
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:tem","http://tempuri.org/")
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:xsd","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Header","")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:UserName","yourusername")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:Password","yourpassword")
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File",1,"xsi:type","xsd:base64Binary")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File",loSbXml.GetAsString())

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("SoapAction","NewSubmission")

loResp = loHttp.PostXml("https://mattest.alabama.gov/WebServices/MFET/",loXml.GetXml(),"utf-8")
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSbXml
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response status code = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
? "Response body text:"
? loResp.BodyStr

* 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:
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml')
loXmlResult = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXmlResult.LoadXml(loResp.BodyStr)
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbResult = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbResult.Append(loXmlResult.GetChildContent("s:Body|NewSubmissionResponse|NewSubmissionResult"))
loSbResult.Decode("base64","utf-8")
? "Decoded result:"
? loSbResult.GetAsString()

* A sample of a decoded error response:

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