#  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

#  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.
sbXmlFileData = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = sbXmlFileData.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/AL_SR_999802_test.xml","utf-8")
if (success != True):
    print("Failed to load XML file.")
    sys.exit()

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

#  Build the XMl that will be the body of the HTTP request.
xml = chilkat.CkXml()
xml.put_Tag("soapenv:Envelope")

    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Response status code = " + str(resp.get_StatusCode()))
print("Response body text:")
print(resp.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:
xmlResult = chilkat.CkXml()
xmlResult.LoadXml(resp.bodyStr())
sbResult = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
sbResult.Append(xmlResult.getChildContent("s:Body|NewSubmissionResponse|NewSubmissionResult"))
sbResult.Decode("base64","utf-8")
print("Decoded result:")
print(sbResult.getAsString())
