Right now one of my contractors has asked me to tackle a project that requires using the SOAP API, only problem is that nuSOAP (and the default PHP SOAP) packages do not support PHP over an HTTPS transport, which as you may understand provides a bit of an issue for secured transactions.

We are required to use HTTPS. I am about to google myself to see if I can find anything, but I am wondering if anyone would know of a SOAP package for PHP that properly support the HTTPS transport.

My only other option is moving to Perl, and well I just do not feel that comfortable using Perl yet (though in retrospect I wish I had of bridged the gap with this language sooner and figured out how to use it, just in this contract Perl is very low key).

As it ends up, for those who are now curious... Pear::SOAP support the HTTPs transport as long as CURL and OpenSSL are compiled into PHP. This is actually a most recent feature, and well PEAR:SOAP is still only beta (0.83 or something like that).

So I finally did manage to get it working... the kicker is though, the API we are working with also require WS-Security based XML signing, which PHP can not presently do without a lot of ugly low-level SOAPing code... so in the end we are moving off of PHP and going to take the system to Perl *shrugs* which means I need to brush up quickly :P

Thanks for the info Kurifu... I will be soon be involved in a SOAP XML-RPC project... Unfortunately, we can't use PHP for security reasons. So, I am looking into Perl as well.
