Jules,

I tried to email you the package, to pipex and toucansurf, but both bounced. You can email me from the url I provided earlier in this thread if you'd like me to send it to you.

It's Ray Smith's package, enhanced by Julio C. Galaret Viera, who uses it on Linux.

From the code:

if platform() = WIN32 then 
    libcURL = link_dll("C:\\EUPHORIA\\INCLUDE\\libcurl.dll") 
elsif platform() = LINUX or platform() = FREEBSD then 
    libcURL = link_dll("libcurl.so") 
end if 

Most Linux distos have libcurl installed. Try slocate libcurl and/or man libcurl. Current downloads of the package are here.

In any case, even wget supports POST operations. My preference is libcurl.

I'm not trying to talk you out of using Perl, just suggesting that the CGI client interface in Euphoria is not all that difficult. I would suggest that you have three tasks ahead of you:

1. Use a program such as eulibcurl to prove that you can fetch data from a CGI enabled host using POST [1]
2. Use a program such as eebax to learn how to generate and parse XML
3. Tie them together to make your SOAP connexion.

[1] I'm happy to give you server space for a while if you want to experiment with both sides of the CGI interface.
