Vista - SOAP webclient

Greetings all,

I am new to the world of SOAP but have a little understanding of psh and, to
a lesser extent, dotnet.

I'm a little lost as to which dotnet class(es) actually need to be used. I
have seen a couple of references to System.Net.HttpWebRequest and
s.n.HttpWebResponse (not that I understood them a great deal within the
VB.NET context). I am also intreagued by system.net.webclient - the name
sort of gives it away.

Does anyone have an example of how I might use psh to interact with a SOAP
service? Any clues on how to use a client certificate within the process
would also be greatly welcomed.

Cheers!

usage:

PS> $service = .\get-webservice.ps1 -anonymous -url http://www.example.com/service.asmx
PS> $service | get-member

It can handle more complex services (multi-document basic profile 1.1)
than many other posh scripts floating around, as it was built around
reverse-engineering how visual studio builds proxies using wsdl.exe

certificate to the request via:

PS> $cert = get-item cert:\store\certname
PS> $service.ClientCertificates.Add($cert)
PS> $result = $service.WebMethod(...)

(where WebMethod is a remote soap method)

"Cert:" is a special drive in powershell that maps to the local
certificate store.

Hope this helps,

Superb!

My thanks to Brendon and Oisin :-)
