Your experience implementing SOAP communication

ta5

Hello

Some time ago, I was searching for a alternative automation object instead of the soap toolkit.

This topic shows 2 ways: using MSXML6.xmlHTTP or soap toolkit

I would be very thankful if you could share your experience using one or both possiblities to implement the communication with SOAP. It also requires the installation of the DLLs.
My personal opinion: We have used the soap toolkit a few times, but the toolkit now went out of support and it will probably get more difficult to use it in the future. Using the MSXML6.xmlHTTP seems to be quite easy too, and the process of creating the XML-Structure using DOM is easier to control than using the methods from the toolkit. The DLLs are normally installed on the client machines.

Many thanks in advance.

I use msXMLHTTP exclusively.

You can pass to it xmlports streams and it has features such as timeouts so that you don't have to wait if web service is not responding.
