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

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

*  Build the XMl that will be the body of the HTTP request.

? "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/">

*          </NewSubmissionResponse>
*      </s:Body>
*  </s:Envelope>

*  We can get the base64 result like this:
loXmlResult = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXmlResult.LoadXml(loResp.BodyStr)
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"?>
