DESCRIPTION

10       The SOAP::Client class exists purely as a superclass for client classes
11       declared by the various SOAP::Lite transport modules. The methods it
12       provides are all simple accessors; they return the current value when
13       called with no arguments or set the attribute value and return the
14       object reference when called with an argument. These attributes
15       include:
16

METHODS

18       code, message, status
19           Stores the response code, message, and status from the most-recent
20           send attempt. For some protocols, such as FTP, the same value is
21           used for all three because of the lack of finer-grained detail (the
22           default is to ensure that all three attributes contain data, even
23           if redundant). Other protocols (such as HTTP) have distinct values
24           in each.
25
26       endpoint
27           Identifies the current endpoint to which messages are being sent.
28           This should match the value of the transport method from the
29           SOAP::Transport class, but setting this doesn't propagate to the
30           transport object. It is better to use the transport object (or the
31           shortcut via the SOAP::Lite object itself) when setting this.
32
33       is_success
34           The success or failure of the most-recent transmission is noted
35           here as a boolean value.
36
37       options
38           The options attribute keeps a hash-table reference of additional
39           options and their values. At present, only one option is used by
40           any of the transport modules:
41
42           compress_threshold
43               The value of this option should be a numerical value. If set,
44               and if the Compress::Zlib library is available, messages whose
45               size in bytes exceeds this value will be compressed before
46               sending. Both ends of the conversation must have it enabled.
47
48           Other options may be defined using this mechanism. Note that
49           setting the options using this accessor requires a full hash
50           reference be passed. To set just one or a few values, consider
51           retrieving the current reference value and using it to set the
52           key(s).
