Sounds interesting but I have no time at all to investigate. Thumbing through the
latest
DDJ last night and found an article on SOAP::Lite for Perl. Seems you can use it with
Apache and mod_perl. http://www.soaplite.com/
FWIW...

Subject: writing a soap/web services authorization module over Apache
> Hi,
>
> I am writing an apache module to authorize user access to particular soap
> services or methods.
> We are calling it mod_soap_auth and it will be hosted at
> http://soapuddi.sourceforge.net
>
> Our basic design allows the use of another module (say mod_auth or
> something else) to authenticate users but through an "access file", we
> authorize users to connect to particular web-service or its methods.
>
> We want the user to be able to authorize users at either top, service or
> method level. I want to ask how should such a file (and corresponding access
> policies) be structured. The requirements are:
> a) the structure stays consistent with current apache configuration files
> and .htaccess
> b) should be xml
> c) should be as intuitive to user as possible and efficient to parse for
> large number of users or services.
>
> What does the group think about the file structure and the whole idea in
> general?
> Am I missing something or is this the correct way? Or am I completely
> barking in the dark and this does not make any sense to anybody here?
