🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, gather round 💖 — this page is sympa-test-soap(1), living in the sympa manual, and here's the whole vibe:

sympa-test-soap — a demo client for the Sympa SOAP/HTTP API ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, "sympa test soap" is a perl soap client for Sympa and it is FOR TEST ONLY 🫶 no cap. Its whole job is to illustrate how you'd go about coding access to the features of the Sympa soap server. Think of it as a little reference baddie you peek at while you write your actual code 👑

and the authentication?? so flexible, we love that 💅 you can do it via:

• user/password
• user cookie
• or as a trusted remote application

literally three whole routes, pick your fighter 🌈

💅 usage, take one

Usage: sympa test soap --service=<a sympa service>
--trusted_application=<app name>
--trusted_application_password=<password>
--proxy_vars=<id=value,id2=value2>
--service_parameters=<value1,value2,value3> <soap sympa server url>

💅 OR usage, take two

OR usage: sympa test soap --user_email=<email>
--user_password=<password> --session_id=<sessionid> --service=<a sympa
service> --service_parameters=<value1,value2,value3> <soap sympa server
url>

💅 OR usage, take three

OR usage: sympa test soap --cookie=<sympauser cookie string> <soap sympa
server url>

🦋 and an example, because examples ate

Example: sympa test soap --cookie=sympauser=someone@cru.fr <soap sympa
server url>

reminder reminder 🔔 this thing is for TEST ONLY, so don't go building your whole production empire on it, mwah 💖

then on Sympa 6.2.71b, its function got moved to the "sympa test soap" command line. glow-up era, honestly 👑
