Thanks Mark. I couldn't see that in the docs though it's quite clearly
documented! Did noticed the docs say to use "hook =>" but it looks like it
should be "transport_hook =>"
I achieved what I wanted with below code. Very straightforward thanks.
# Compile request method from WSDL
# Hook in sub for Authorization header
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient( $method, transport_hook =>
\&transport_hook );
...
...
# Transport hook for complieClient to add to http headers
# for the basic http authentication
#
# HTTP basic authentication encodes the username and password
# with Base64. The encoded source string is in the format:
#
# "username:password"
#
# With the below HTTP header being required:
#
# "Authorization: Basic [encoded password]"
#
sub transport_hook($$)
{
my ($request, $trace) = @_;
my $content = $request->content;
my $user = 'myuserid' ;
my $password = 'mypassword';
# Encode userid and password
my $authorization = 'Basic '.encode_base64( "$user:$password" );
print "Authorization: $authorization";
# Modify http header to include basic authorisation
#
$request->header(Authorization => $authorization );
my $ua = $trace->{user_agent};
my $response = $ua->request($request);
# ... check the response headers
$response->header('Authorization');
# ... use the response content
my $received = $response->decoded_content || $response->content;
$response;
}
