Natural Web service calls

, ,
1

Written a few WS clients in normal Natural using the REQUEST DOCUMENT command and they work quite well , but now I have a requirement to call a Web Service that uses HTTP digest security (not basic HTTP Auth).

Does anyone know of a way to impliment this using the REQUEST DOCUMENT command in natural?

Help/comments/wild speculations gratefully accepted.

example program :

**NAM: XWS018N

** :

**FNC: Natural WS client vir SMS send

**FNC: KONTROLE sleutel vir hierdie WS is: SMSSEND

**FNC:

** :

**HST: (suggested content - name or id, date, request no., description)

**HST: ARSEM, 2009/10/23 - Skryf
