See +also http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soapexamples.html +for details and explanations for some of these examples. + +For Windows users, the archive includes 'magic_VC' and 'quote_VC' Visual +Studio projects in the 'samples' directory. + +For Mac users, the archive includes a 'quote_MAC_ProjBuild' Project Builder +example in the 'samples' directory. + +To try the SSL-secure SOAP server, install OpenSSL and change the occurrences +of "linprog2.cs.fsu.edu" in sslclient.c and sslserver.c to the machine name +(or machine IP) you are using. Example .pem files are included but you need to +create your own .pem files (see OpenSSL documentation). + +The sslclient and sslserver codes can then be build as follows: + +soapcpp2 -c ssl.h +gcc -DWITH_OPENSSL -o sslclient sslclient.c stdsoap2.c soapC.c soapClient.c -lssl -lcrypto +gcc -DWITH_OPENSSL -o sslserver sslserver.c stdsoap2.c soapC.c soapServer.c -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread + +The 'gsoap_mod' directory includes Apache 1.x and 2.0 mods for gSOAP, IIS, and +WinInet support. WinInet allows gsoap to use the WinInet API instead of calls +to the socket API. The primary benefit of this arrangement is that "if IE +works, your program will work". There is no need to read proxy settings from +the registry, deal with proxy configuration scripts, etc. Changes in the +"Internet Options" dialog box will immediately take effect in your program. +Additionally, this will allow gsoap to handle forms of authentication not yet +supported natively, such as NTLM (Integrated Windows Authentication), etc. + +Contributions are included in the 'extras' directory: + +ckdb.h ckdb.c: +HTTP cookie database load and store operations for persistant cookie support. +Cookies are saved in XML format using gSOAP's serializers. + +ckdbtest.h ckdbtest.c: +Test client program for cookie database. + +soapdefs.h logging.cpp: +C++ message logging with streams. + +DISCLAIMER: WE TRY OUR BEST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH "REAL-WORLD" EXAMPLES BUT WE +CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ALL CLIENT EXAMPLES CAN CONNECT TO THIRD PARTY WEB +SERVICES WHEN THESE SERVICES ARE DOWN OR HAVE BEEN REMOVED. + |
