So, riddle me this:
This url:

https://example.com/webservices.cfc?j_username=foo&j_password=bar&meth
+od=MyMethodName&someVar=123456&returnformat=json
[download]

returns a valid json encoded string.

I think my problem here, I am not authenticating... (Actually I'm pretty sure this is the problem.) Is there a way to authenticate with wsdl/SOAP? Or, do I have to use lynx (or wget) to pull the response down, then parse the response. The latter seems like a hack way to do this...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.010001;

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple qw/mirror/;
use SOAP::Simple;

my $url = "https://example.com/webservices.cfc";
my $wsdlFile = 'webservices.wsdl';
mirror( $wsdlUrl, $wsdlFile );

my $soap = SOAP::Simple->new( $wsdlFile );
