Re: HTTP_Set_AUTH and WS-Security

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

HTTPAPI is a file transfer program.  It transfers data over a network 
for you.  It does not know anything about SOAP, or how to generate it. 
This includes WS-Security. (Which is an "add-on" to SOAP.)  HTTPAPI 
doesn't even know that SOAP exists, much less WS-Security.  It's up to 
YOU to generate data in SOAP format, and to add WS-Security elements to 
that SOAP message, if you need it.

HTTP_setAuth() is for HTTP authentication.  HTTPAPI is designed to 
know/understand the HTTP file transfer protocol, and so supports HTTP 
authentication.  This is not related to WS-Security.

Likewise, HTTPAPI understands SSL. This also is unrelated to WS-Security.

Sorry!
