SOAP::Client(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation SOAP::Client(3)NAMESOAP::Client - exists purely as a superclass for client classes
declared by the various SOAP::Lite transport modules.
DESCRIPTION
The SOAP::Client class exists purely as a superclass for client classes
declared by the various SOAP::Lite transport modules. The methods it
provides are all simple accessors; they return the current value when
called with no arguments or set the attribute value and return the
object reference when called with an argument. These attributes
include:
METHODS
code, message, status
Stores the response code, message, and status from the most-recent
send attempt. For some protocols, such as FTP, the same value is
used for all three because of the lack of finer-grained detail (the
default is to ensure that all three attributes contain data, even
if redundant). Other protocols (such as HTTP) have distinct values
in each.
endpoint
Identifies the current endpoint to which messages are being sent.
This should match the value of the transport method from the
SOAP::Transport class, but setting this doesn't propagate to the
transport object. It is better to use the transport object (or the
shortcut via the SOAP::Lite object itself) when setting this.
is_success
The success or failure of the most-recent transmission is noted
here as a boolean value.
options
The options attribute keeps a hash-table reference of additional
options and their values. At present, only one option is used by
any of the transport modules:
compress_threshold
The value of this option should be a numerical value. If set,
and if the Compress::Zlib library is available, messages whose
size in bytes exceeds this value will be compressed before
sending. Both ends of the conversation must have it enabled.
Other options may be defined using this mechanism. Note that set‐
ting the options using this accessor requires a full hash reference
be passed. To set just one or a few values, consider retrieving the
current reference value and using it to set the key(s).
