MS SOAP Toolkit no longer supported, now what?

Hello all,

I need to implement a SOAP-based Web Service. The classic solution for this has been to use the MSSOAP 3.0 toolkit, but MS no longer supports this. The web services provider has developed their web services with .NET. When I use the old technique of calling web services using MSSOAP.SOAPClient the service is called, but the response is always NIL and should be an XML complex type response).

MSSOAP was depracated years ago, and these web services were developed recently. I think my problems may come from an incompatbility with the new .NET return types and the old MSSOAP's abilities.

Does anybody know abou this?

Has anybody put any serious work into developing an XHarbour SOAP toolkit? If not, and anyone is willing to try, I am ready to contribute.

Thanks,

Carlo

Carlo,

You may check it with xHarbour.com

AFAIK they were developing/providing a SOAP solution for xHarbour

Thanks Antonio,

I will ask again - I asked a few months ago and I got the suggestion to use MSSOAP.SOAPClient(). I had asked a year before that, and got no response. I'll try again - I hope they aren't sick of me asking!

I posted a message three days ago and so far, no one on the XHB forum has said there is any SOAP development.
