jcagle has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am fairly new to SOAP::Lite. However, I've been able to get SOAP::Lite to successfully pull back WSDL's from remote clients. I have one issue that I'm not able to resolve thru google search and searching boards, however. And, that is, how can I retrieve a WSDL with the remote client requires authentication (username/password) while pulling back the WSDL. Thank you in advance!

    Hi

    You can't, its obvious , since you had to ask the question: how ?

    Now this response might seem cruel or whatever,

    but thats the essence SOAP::Lite in a nutshell , its only as smart as you are, and nobody else , cause nobody has your access or knowledge of SOAP

    So what do you mean by "authentication (username/password)" exactly?

      I'm not exactly sure where your response is coming from, but I'm trying to pull back a wsdl using SOAP::Lite. For one particular case, it requires a username/password authentication in order to pull back the WSDL (similar to BASIC Authentication, I would guess). Any ideas would be appreciated.

        I'm not exactly sure ...

        Ugh

        Which part is confusing?

        That I can't see your computer/credentials/documentation?

        Sorry "something similar to BASIC authentication" is isn't exact enough.

        I could point at SOAP::Lite documents/examples about authentication,

        or XML::Compile:: ...

        but surely you've seen all that already
