Hi,

while digging around on my own for an answer to
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/03/msg00020.html I found BBTEST_SOAP in
some source files.  Unfortunately I could not find anything in the
documentation regarding SOAP requests.  What does it do?  How does it
work?  What's the status of implementation?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

It's in the 4.3.0 code. Here's the man-page describing it:

  soap[=COLUMN];URL;SOAPMESSAGE;[expected_data_regexp|#digesttype:digest]
    Send SOAP message over HTTP. This is  identical  to  the "cont"
    test, except that the request sent to the server uses a Content-
    type of "application/soap+xml", and it also sends a "SOAPAction"
    header with the URL. SOAPMESSAGE is the SOAP message sent to the
    server. Since SOAP messages are usually XML documents, you  can
    store  this  in a separate file by specifying "file:FILENAME" as
    the SOAPMESSAGE parameter.  E.g. a test specification of
        soap=echo;http://soap.foo.bar/baz?wsdl;file:/home/foo/msg.xml;.
    will  read  the SOAP message from the file /home/foo/msg.xml and
    post it to the URL http://soap.foo.bar/bas?wsdl 

    Note that SOAP XML documents usually must  begin  with the  XML
    version line, <?xml version="1.0">
