Rusty,

Yes, there is a start of a client, which downloads, and parses a WSDL file. 

But there are so many poorly defined services, and so many options which you 
could use in a web service, that it hasn't been a priority to create a 
generic client.

Instead I'm leaning toward redefining an external service using the TWiST API, 
and with tiny changes (like the URL of the original service), use a TWiST 
server as a proxy for the external service. 

In fact, this type of client already exists in TWiST which allows for testing 
the service via a web interface. 

( See the example operations at http://junom.com/ws/mywebservice/ )

The testing interface is just a web page with a simple form. When the form is 
submitted, the values are translated into a client request, which is POSTed 
back to the same server (a seperate request). The only change needed for a 
proxy would be the external URL used for POSTing the request. Slowly this is 
coming together in the <ws>client API (which will be similar to <ws>return ).
