Re: Initiating SOAP Request from RPG Using Sockets

[Todd Allen <tballen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I assume the transport protocol is still HTTP so the same type of socket 
request should work.
SOAP adds another layer of complexity so you must get through the 
envelop, header and body.

Are you tied to RPG?
There is a Java web services developer pack that has a set of SOAP APIs 
for this sort of thing.
If Java is an option then you should take a look.

Thanks,
Todd
