SOAP 1.1 Request and Response of GetSpeech
This section provides a tutorial example on how to use SocketRequestResponse.pl to send a SOAP 1.1 request for the GetSpeech Web service provided by www.xmlme.com. The response of GetSpeech received looks very nice.
In the previous tutorial, I discovered a code bug in my socket test program, SocketRequestResponse.pl. The bug is that the request file is opened in non-binary mode and the read() functions converts \r\n to \n resulting less bytes used in the SOAP request message.
I modified SocketRequestResponse.pl to open the request file in binary mode:
#- SocketRequestResponseBinary.pl #- Copyright (c) 2009 by Dr. Herong Yang, herongyang.com #- All rights reserved # use Socket; ($host, $port, $in, $out) = @ARGV; #- Reading the request open(IN, "< $in"); binmode(IN); read(IN, $req, (-s $in)); close(IN); #- Connecting socket(SOCK,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname('tcp')); connect(SOCK, sockaddr_in($port, inet_aton($host))); select(SOCK); $| = 1; select(STDOUT); #- Sending the request print SOCK $req; #- Receiving the response open(OUT, "> $out"); while ($line=<SOCK>) { print OUT $line; } close(OUT); #- Closing connection close(SOCK); exit;
Here is the test result after fixing the bug:
\herong>SocketRequestResponseBinary.pl www.xmlme.com 80 soap_1_1_GetSpeech.req soap_1_1.res \herong>type soap_1_1.res HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: ... 2009 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1942 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Body> <GetSpeechResponse xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices"> <GetSpeechResult> <SPEECH><PLAY>HAMLET</PLAY> <SPEAKER>HAMLET</SPEAKER>To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to ...</SPEECH> </GetSpeechResult> </GetSpeechResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
Cool. My first SOAP 1.1 test with SocketRequestResponseBinary.pl worked nicely. Some notes on the SOAP response:
