WSMethodInvocationRefAndSOAPActionHTTPHeader

It seems like it ought to be

WSMethodInvocationSetProperty( 
    soapCall, 
    kWSSOAPMethodSOAPAction , 
    (CFTypeRef @"http://ws.cdyne.com/AdvancedCheckAddress" );

but there is no such constant as kWSSOAPMethodSOAPAction.

You can create a kWSHTTPExtraHeaders property for the invocation which is a CFDictionary of { key (CFString), val (CFString) } pairs. See: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Networking/Conceptual/WebServices/3_ref_folder/chapter_3_section_33.html for details. The snippet below should be enough to get you going.

NSDictionary *headers = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"urn:GoogleSearchAction" forKey:@"SOAPAction"];
/* your code to create the invocation and set its parameters - see WSMethodInvocationRef */
WSMethodInvocationSetProperty (rpcCall, (CFStringRef) kWSHTTPExtraHeaders, (CFTypeRef) headers);

The headers dictionary could also contain @"MyFunkyApp? 1.0 (Macintosh; Mac OS X)" with key @"User-Agent" if you want fame in server logs :)

#import <CoreServices/CoreServices.h>
#import "soap.h"


@implementation soap


- (IBAction) getQuote: (id) sender {	
																																											
	
	WSMethodInvocationRef soapCall;
	NSMutableDictionary *params;
	params     = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] retain];



	[params setObject:@"AAPL" forKey:@"symbol"];
	
		
	NSMutableDictionary *headers = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote" forKey:@"SOAPAction"];	
	NSURL *rpcURL = [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx"];	
	NSString *methodName = @"GetQuote";	
	
	NSDictionary *result;
	

	soapCall = WSMethodInvocationCreate ((CFURLRef) rpcURL, (CFStringRef) methodName, kWSSOAP2001Protocol);
	
	WSMethodInvocationSetParameters (soapCall, (CFDictionaryRef) params,(CFArrayRef) NULL);
	
	WSMethodInvocationSetProperty (soapCall, (CFStringRef) kWSHTTPExtraHeaders, (CFTypeRef) headers);
	result = (NSDictionary *) (WSMethodInvocationInvoke (soapCall));
		

if (WSMethodResultIsFault ((CFDictionaryRef) result)) 
	
	NSLog (@"%@", result);//[resultField setStringValue: [result objectForKey: (NSString *) kWSFaultString]];	


else 
	NSLog (@"%@", result);	
	[resultField setStringValue: [result objectForKey: (NSDictionary *) kWSMethodInvocationResult]];	
	
	[params release];
	params = nil;
	}

So far all the examples are sending parameters objects as strings. Can someone post a sample that sends an array of strings (or even better a structure of some sort that includes an array of strings) as one of the parameters? I've tried a few things but I'm failing miserably.

Thanks, PH
