[Xml-compile] Basic authorisation

[Kieron Johnson]

Thanks Mark. I couldn't see that in the docs though it's quite clearly
documented! Did noticed the docs say to use "hook =3D>" but it looks like it
should be "transport_hook =3D>"

I achieved what I wanted with below code. Very straightforward thanks.

# Compile request method from WSDL

# Hook in sub for Authorization header

my $call =3D $wsdl->compileClient( $method, transport_hook =3D>
\&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) =3D @_;

    my $content =3D $request->content;



    my $user =3D 'myuserid' ;

    my $password =3D 'mypassword';



    # Encode userid and password

    my $authorization =3D 'Basic '.encode_base64( "$user:$password" );



    print "Authorization: $authorization";



    # Modify http header to include basic authorisation

    #

    $request->header(Authorization =3D> $authorization );



    my $ua =3D $trace->{user_agent};

    my $response =3D $ua->request($request);



    # ... check the response headers

    $response->header('Authorization');



    # ... use the response content

    my $received =3D $response->decoded_content || $response->content;



    $response;

}
