SOAP::Constants(3)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   SOAP::Constants(3)

NAME
       SOAP::Constants - SOAP::Lite provides several variables to allows pro‐
       grammers and users to modify the behavior of SOAP::Lite in specific
       ways.

DESCRIPTION
       A number of "constant" values are provided by means of this namespace.
       The values aren't constants in the strictest sense; the purpose of the
       values detailed here is to allow the application to change them if it
       desires to alter the specific behavior governed.

CONSTANTS
       $DO_NOT_USE_XML_PARSER

       The SOAP::Lite package attempts to locate and use the XML::Parser pack‐
       age, falling back on an internal, pure-Perl parser in its absence. This
       package is a fast parser, based on the Expat parser developed by James
       Clark. If the application sets this value to 1, there will be no
       attempt to locate or use XML::Parser. There are several reasons you
       might choose to do this. If the package will never be made available,
       there is no reason to perform the test. Setting this parameter is less
       time-consuming than the test for the package would be. Also, the
       XML::Parser code links against the Expat libraries for the C language.
       In some environments, this could cause a problem when mixed with other
       applications that may be linked against a different version of the same
       libraries. This was once the case with certain combinations of Apache,
       mod_perl and XML::Parser.

       $DO_NOT_USE_CHARSET

       Unless this parameter is set to 1, outgoing Content-Type headers will
       include specification of the character set used in encoding the message
       itself. Not all endpoints (client or server) may be able to properly
       deal with that data on the content header, however. If dealing with an
       endpoint that expects to do a more literal examination of the header as
       whole (as opposed to fully parsing it), this parameter may prove use‐
       ful.

       $DO_NOT_CHECK_CONTENT_TYPE

       The content-type itself for a SOAP message is rather clearly defined,
       and in most cases, an application would have no reason to disable the
       testing of that header. This having been said, the content-type for
       SOAP 1.2 is still only a recommended draft, and badly coded endpoints
       might send valid messages with invalid Content-Type headers. While the
       "right" thing to do would be to reject such messages, that isn't always
       an option. Setting this parameter to 1 allows the toolkit to skip the
       content-type test.

       $PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE

       SOAP::Lite's HTTP Transport module attempts to provide a simple patch
       to LWP::Protocol to enable HTTP Keep Alive. By default, this patch is
       turned off, if however you would like to turn on the experimental patch
       change the constant like so:

	 $SOAP::Constants::PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE = 1;
