While working on the axis2_libcurl code, I was frequently verifying the SOAP messages in memory on their way to the server, sometimes using the guththila parser and sometimes using libxml. A new behavior I noticed was that one could enable an xml declaration at the front of the xml document using libxml. But this new feature does not seem to work with guththila. Initially I thought this was because the libxml is willing to default the version information when it is passed a character encoding but no version, whereas guththila xml writer treats this as an error. But then I noticed that, beyond this, the guththila_xml_writer has no support at all for generating the xml declaration. Which is understandable; after all, SOAP 1.1 says the xml declaration is not allowed in SOAP messages.
Given that this ability to insert the xml declaration is claimed to be a feature of the new release, I take it that this is a bug in guththila that needs to be written up? This might prevent the adoption of guththila as the default parser if it omits support needed for a feature in the new release.

Wouldn't it be better if we could add these to the 1.3.0 release? +1 , May be we can make guththila the default parser after fixing those. thanks, Dinesh -- http://nethu.org/
