Samples

Sample request from a Linux client using perl

Note: The below samples are included within the installation archive in /var/www/mylvs/templates/client_scripts
Require Debian package: apt-get install libsoap-lite-perl

Sample script (test.pl)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use SOAP::Lite; # + qw/ trace /;
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
  -> uri('urn:lvs')
  -> proxy('http://ws.mylvs.foo/cgi-bin/lvs.cgi');
my $result = $soap->WHATISMYIP ();
unless ($result->fault) {
 print $result->result();
} else {
  print join ', ',
    $result->faultcode,
    $result->faultstring;
}

Sample script output (test.pl)

Sample request from a Windows client using cscript with MSXML

Set xmlReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0")
request="<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance' " 
request = request & "xmlns:SOAP-ENC='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' "
request = request & "xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' "
request = request & "xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema' "
request = request & "SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'>"
request = request & "<SOAP-ENV:Body><mylvs:WHATISMYIP xmlns:mylvs='urn:lvs'/>"
'request = request & "<c-gensym3 xsi:type='xsd:string'>192.168.xx.yy</c-gensym3>" 'alternative param
request = request & "</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"
xmlReq.loadXML  request 'load our request
Set xmlRes = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0")  
xmlRes.open "POST", "http://ws.mylvs.foo/cgi-bin/lvs.cgi"
xmlRes.send (xmlReq)
while xmlRes.readyState <> 4
wend
Set objDispatch =  xmlRes.responseXML
set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
xmlDoc.Load objDispatch
WScript.Echo xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//WHATISMYIPResponse").text

Sample request from a Windows client using cscript with SoapLite

Soaplite is a smart way to handle our request. It still runs as 32bit application on Server2012
but it requires the 32bit part of cscript.

Description: http://conf.soaplite.com/p2p/40.html
Binary: http://soaplite.com/download/SOAP-Lite-COM-standalone-latest.zip

Soaplite must be registered with the 32bit part of regsvr:

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\lvs>c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe Lite.dll

Sample script (test-lite.vbs):

strSoapProxy="http://ws.mylvs.foo/cgi-bin/lvs.cgi"
strSoapURI = "urn:lvs"
set wso = CreateObject("SOAP.Lite").new("proxy", strSoapProxy, "uri",strSoapURI )
'wscript.echo  wso.WHATISMYIP(strBLA).result 'Sample for an alternative parameter
wscript.echo  wso.WHATISMYIP().result

Sample script output (test-lite.vbs):

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\lvs>c:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe test-lite.vbs //nologo
200 192.168.2.221
