Base64 encoding of all MIME parts with attachments.

[Nathan de Vries <ndv@ii.net>]

Hi there,
I'm trying to use SOAP to interface with an antivirus package my client is 
using, but I'm having no luck. I noticed that someone has had previous 
problems [1], but the fix they used doesn't seem to be working for me.

Basically, I have to put the file in the SOAP request. This gets base64 
encoded, but then so does the body.

I'm doing:

	$client = new SOAP_Client("http://example.com";);
	$client->setOpt('attachment', 'Mime');
	$attachment = new SOAP_Attachment('file', 'text/plain', 'blar.txt');
	$result = $client->call('scanFile', $parameters = array($attachment), 'urn:MYAV');

If I decode the first part of the request, it looks perfectly formatted 
according to what the server expects (SOAP::Lite), but I don't understand 
why it's encoding it. I've tried going into Base.php and adding double 
quotes around "text/xml", as well as changing the encoding to 8bit. No 
such luck.

I have been given a PERL script that works:

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	use strict;
	use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'debug';
	use MIME::Entity;

	my $HOST   = "http://example.com";;
	my $NS     = "urn:MYAV";
	my $FILE =  shift;
	my $ent = MIME::Entity->build(
	        Type => 'image/gif',
	        Encoding => 'base64',
	        Path => $FILE,
	        Filename => $FILE,
	        Disposition => 'attachment',
	        'Content-Location' => $FILE,
	);

        my $soap = SOAP::Lite
        ->readable(1)
        ->uri($NS)
        ->parts($ent)
        ->proxy($HOST);
        my $som = $soap->scanFile(
                SOAP::Data->name("file")->attr({'href' => $FILE})
        );

	1;

Any ideas? I'd really appreciate your help.


Regards,


Nathan de Vries.
