Hi all, I will be working on a project soon where I need our Delphi 5 apps to be able to interact with a client's specific Web Services. As part of my research I managed to get Indy VCL V9 and Indy SOAP V1 component working and have managed to get my test app working with a simple web service (http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL)
Not a problem so far, as this is a publicly available web service, but I am fairly sure that when the project develops, I will need to access web services from a secure web page (https). So, in preparation for this I attempted to use Indy Soap on a secure web service. I chose the Betfair web service as it is also one which I have another interest in personally. But, when I used the WSDL Parser in Indy Soap Tools I get the message "Unsupported protocol" and looking at the source code it looks like it does only support a http source. So, my questions are: Has anyone got any advice re. Delphi 5 (must be this version) and Web Services? (other components, code examples etc.) Has anyone got Delphi 5 working with the Betfair specific Web Service? (examples please) Has anyone got Delphi 5 working with any other secure (https) Web Service? BTW - we are gradually going to be doing any new standalone development in .NET (C# in Visual Studio 2010), and with very little effort, I got C# accessing the Betfair Web Service no problem. Potentially, I suppose I could get Delphi 5 to call a C# DLL that does the actual Web Service part and returns the soap response? Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance for any responses.
