Hello Roland... I've just noticed the postSoap file in the code examples. I would like to try to do a combination of this and the AlternateAuthentication example (to handle DIGEST authentication). However one does an executeMethod(httpget), and the other an executeMethod(post). With reference to the expect-continue handshake you mentioned, could I first send a get, followed by a post? Or should I try sending two posts (as the SOAP payload with be sent as a post)?
Many thanks again for your help, and for this great software. Regards /j-p.
