I am trying to send a SOAP request from a xml file and send to a SOAP service and then read the response while saving it into a file, using libcurl.
An example request in an xml file is as followed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:olm="http://127.0.0.1:1090/services/olmDSMN">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<olm:getAllCommercialProducts soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The libcurl code I'm trying to use to make the read and write is as follows:
#define URL "http://192.168.56.101:8088/olmDSMN"
size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmeb, void *stream)
{
return fwrite(ptr,size,nmeb,stream);
}
size_t read_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmeb, void *stream)
{
return fread(ptr,size,nmeb,stream);
}
int sendMessage (char * inFile, char * outFile) {
//writing to file initially
FILE * rfp = fopen(inFile, "r");
if(!rfp) {
perror("Read File Open:");
// exit(0);
}
FILE * wfp = fopen(outFile, "w+"); //File pointer to write the soap response
if(!wfp) {
perror("Write File Open:");
// exit(0);
}
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, URL);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_data); //Reads xml file to be sent via POST operationt
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, rfp);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data); //Gets data to be written to file
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, wfp); //Writes result to file
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
return 1;
}
}
At the moment the above does not work. When the function is invoked is just waits(as if waiting on a response that never comes). I'm just learning libcurl, so I'm sure I've done many things incorrectly. I've really been piecing together a couple different tutorials to get it do what I want it to do. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
