Hi monks,
I am trying to retrieve a web page that uses basic authentication with the SOAP::Lite module. I have been able to retrive this page with the LWP::UserAgent, using this code to take care of authentication: 
 $header->authorization_basic($uname,$passwd);

[download]
$header is the name of the request header, which is then sent like this (with more info for the http transaction): 
POST http://newscentre.aap.com.au/SRW/SRW.asmx
Authorization: Basic dmljcGFybDJcbWV0YWxpYjo1bmV3c2NlbnRyZTM=

[download]
. I now want to do the same using SOAP::Lite. I read in the module documentation that SOAP::Lite supports basic authentication, but didn't find any other info about how to send the username and password. I can send info in the SOAP header, but I don't know how it can be done in the request header. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks, Guy
