SOAP shell script
Yesterday I demonstrated a SOAP request using vbs. Here is a comparable shells script. If you don't have /usr/bin/nc then you can try substituting it with /usr/bin/telnet. I've had trouble with telnet escaping certain characters.
#!/bin/sh

[ -z "$1" ] && { echo "Specify the file you wish to trasfer." ; exit 0 ; }
[ ! -f "$1" ] && { echo "Cannot open $1." ; exit 0 ; }
{
echo "POST $url HTTP/1.1" ; \
echo "Host: $hst" ; \
echo "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" ; \
echo "Content-Length: `stat -c%s $1`" ; \
echo "SOAPAction: \"$act\"" ; \
echo ; \
cat $1 ; \
sleep 3 ;
} | \
/usr/bin/nc $hst 80 2>/dev/null | tr -d '\15\32' | \
{
while [ "`read r; echo $r`" != "" ]; do \
test ; \
done ; \
cat ;
}
