[Soaplite-devel] accessing WSDL file with NTLM authentication

[Andrew P. <an...@pi...>]

I am using SOAP::Lite to access a Windows 2003 server with NTLM
authentication required.  I've looked at the hacks in the cookbook, but
I don't think they will suffice, because I need to use NTLM not just for
the SOAP calls, but for accessing the WSDL file.

Generally, I would really like to be able to pass in my own
LWP::UserAgent to use for all web requests.  This allows for both
great flexibility and better use of resources.  Would it be hard to add
this?  Can anyone suggest an approach?

In this case, I think I can work-around the problem by downloading the
WSDL file by hand, and giving it SOAP::Lite as a file: URL; then using
the SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials (or another)
trick for the SOAP requests.  But I hope I can come up with a better
solution in the end.
