// 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.
