This section provides a tutorial example on how to use soapversion('1.2') to tell service() to use the correct namespace for the Envelope.
From previous tutorial, I learned that the service() function uses SOAP 1.1 by default
and it put the wrong namespace to the Envelope.
Now let me force it to use SOAP 1.2 and see what happens:
#- GetSpeech_WSDL_localhost_1_2.pl
#- Copyright (c) 2009 by Dr. Herong Yang, herongyang.com
#- All rights reserved
#
use SOAP::Lite +trace;
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new()
->soapversion('1.2')
->service('file:///C:/herong/GetSpeech.wsdl')
->readable('true');
#- Overriding the constant for SOAP 1.2
$SOAP::Constants::DEFAULT_HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE
= 'application/soap+xml';
$client->GetSpeech('To be, or not to be');
Result of GetSpeech_WSDL_localhost_1_2.pl:
POST http://localhost/soap11 HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/xml
Accept: multipart/*

</tns:GetSpeech>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
...
500 Can't connect to localhost:80 (connect: Unknown error)
Note that:
soapversion('1.2') changed the Envelope namespace to the correct one: xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope".
But the service() function still picked up the "port" defined for SOAP 1.1,
because it uses "POST http://localhost/soap11 HTTP/1.1".
The request looks good to me now. I will try it with the real Web service server at xmlme.com
in the next tutorial.
