SOAP Control

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The SOAP Control is a generic SOAP client supporting SOAP 1.1 that is used to communicate with SOAP servers.

Syntax

SOAP

Remarks

The SOAP Control supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The SOAP Control implements a standard SOAP client as specified in the SOAP 1.1 specification.

The control uses HTTP to communicate with SOAP servers and uses an internal XML parser to process the results. The SOAP requests are specified by first setting the SOAP Method and MethodURI, as well as optional parameters in the Params properties. Then set the target URL and call the SendRequest method.

The results will be provided through the ReturnValue property and the Params properties (for output parameters). Additionally, properties such as XPath, XElement, and XText allow for more granular traversal of the SOAP response.

If the server returns an error, the FaultCode, FaultString, and FaultActor properties will provide information about the error condition.

The control may also be used in offline mode. This is supported by methods such as BuildPacket and EvalPacket. The corresponding SOAP packet will be stored in the SOAPPacket property. Offline mode is important in cases in which the underlying SOAP transport is not HTTP but another mechanism (e.g., SMTP and POP for email).

By providing direct access to the SOAP packet in offline mode, the control allows for possible extension and full control over the SOAPPacket. The SendPacket method may then be used to send the custom-created SOAPPacket to the destination URL.

Accept Property (SOAP Control)

This property includes a list of acceptable MIME types for the request.

Syntax

soapcontrol.Accept[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.

The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.

Data Type

String

ActionURI Property (SOAP Control)

This property includes the value of the SOAP-action header.

Syntax

soapcontrol.ActionURI[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

When the MethodURI or Method properties are set, the ActionURI property is automatically updated to MethodURI#Method.

Data Type

String

Authorization Property (SOAP Control)

This property includes the Authorization string to be sent to the server.

Syntax

soapcontrol.Authorization[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP control can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the control.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

Data Type

String

AuthScheme Property (SOAP Control)

This property specifies the authentication scheme to use when server authentication is required.

Syntax

soapcontrol.AuthScheme[=integer]

Possible Values

authBasic(0), 
authDigest(1), 
authProprietary(2), 
authNone(3), 
authNtlm(4), 
authNegotiate(5), 
authOAuth(6)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property will tell the control which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.

This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.

By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the control will attempt HTTP Basic Authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4), or authNegotiate (5), then Digest, NTLM, or Windows Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token must be supplied through the Authorization property.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6), then the authorization string must be supplied through the Authorization property.

Note: If you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, then the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.

For security, changing the value of this property will cause the control to clear the values of User, Password, and Authorization.

FollowRedirects Property (SOAP Control)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Syntax

soapcontrol.FollowRedirects[=integer]

Possible Values

frNever(0), 
frAlways(1), 
frSameScheme(2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the control returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the control fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the control fails with an error instead.

Data Type

Integer

Idle Property (SOAP Control)

This property is read-only.

Data Type

Boolean

IfModifiedSince Property (SOAP Control)

This property includes a date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

Syntax

soapcontrol.IfModifiedSince[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: If the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the control fails with an error

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. An example is Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT.

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the control is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Error Event (SOAP Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Header Event (SOAP Control)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

Log Event (SOAP Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (SOAP Control)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Redirect(Location As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the control fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

SetCookie Event (SOAP Control)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_SetCookie(Name As String, Value As String, Expires As String, Domain As String, Path As String, Secure As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.

The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.

The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.

The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.

The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (SOAP Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (SOAP Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (SOAP Control)

This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (SOAP Control)

Fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Status(HTTPVersion As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").

StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").

Transfer Event (SOAP Control)

This event is fired while the response transfers.

Syntax

Sub soapcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer)

Remarks

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the response (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
