SOAP::Client(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so SOAP::Client(3) is from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the whole vibe is: SOAP::Client exists purely as a superclass for client classes declared by the various SOAP::Lite transport modules. That’s it, bestie — iconic minimalism. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The SOAP::Client class exists purely as a superclass for client classes declared by the various SOAP::Lite transport modules. The methods it provides are all simple accessors; they return the current value when called with no arguments, or set the attribute value and return the object reference when called with an argument. These attributes include: ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• code, message, status — stores the response code, message, and status from the most-recent send attempt. For some protocols, such as FTP, the same value is used for all three because of the lack of finer-grained detail (the default is to ensure that all three attributes contain data, even if redundant). Other protocols (such as HTTP) have distinct values in each. 🫶
• endpoint — identifies the current endpoint to which messages are being sent. This should match the value of the transport method from the SOAP::Transport class, but setting this doesn’t propagate to the transport object. It is better to use the transport object (or the shortcut via the SOAP::Lite object itself) when setting this. 🦋
• is_success — the success or failure of the most-recent transmission is noted here as a boolean value. ⭐
• options — the options attribute keeps a hash-table reference of additional options and their values. At present, only one option is used by any of the transport modules:
  • compress_threshold — the value of this option should be a numerical value. If set, and if the Compress::Zlib library is available, messages whose size in bytes exceeds this value will be compressed before sending. Both ends of the conversation must have it enabled. 🔥

Other options may be defined using this mechanism. Note that setting the options using this accessor requires a full hash reference be passed. To set just one or a few values, consider retrieving the current reference value and using it to set the key(s). 💜
