    // 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.
    CkXmlW xml;
    xml.put_Tag(L"env:Envelope");

    wprintf(L"%s\n",xml.getXml());
    wprintf(L"----\n");

    // 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">
