I was having some dfficulty using the SOAPHTTPConnection as my transport as it lacks some inportant features (even with the latest CVS snapshot, there's no support for HTTPS proxies that are username/password protected). One client which does support this is HTTPClient - available from http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ It is very well featured and and supports proxies, realm authentication, session management, cookies. It also has patches to support many different SSL providers. I have written a simple replacement for SOAPHTTPConnection which leverages HTTPClient - I know you guys probably don't want to introduce a dependency on HTTPClient into SOAP, but as an alernative transport, it could make the lives of developers who need these features easier. If this is on interest, how should I go about submitting the code for evaluation? Regards, Noel O'Sullivan
