SmartWin++ have a side-project called SmartSOAP which is pretty neat I think, it features a pretty complete stack starting from SocketStream, working its way up to HttpRequest/Response objects. Features a small (to the job) XML DOM class abstraction and goes up to SOAP. It even comes with a WSDL parser to create proxy classes for you. It heavily uses templates and STL. And is pretty awesome C++. Works on Windows Mobile...

Though it isn't extremely rich, doesn't feature stuff like SSL and such. But since the code is pure art I would guess it could easily be understood and extended upon yourself...

License is New BSD...

Disclaimer; I implemented it...

If you are writing for Windows, Microsoft has a utility that comes with the Windows 7 SDK (And visual studio 2013 and later) called WSUTIL. It generates C proxies given a WDSL file, as shown in this example.

I stumbled on gsoap awhile ago, but I wasn't a huge fan of its interface and code generator. And as I remember it, the documentation is significantly lacking (or at least in a very difficult format).

Sometime in the near future, though, this library may be adding sockets support. At least, I suggested it to the developer some time ago and he seemed to think it was the idea, and a few months later an XML parser showed up in the API. I'm a big fan of that library, and would definitely use it more if it wasn't GPL.

Check out Apache Axis. That is my all times favorite SOAP implementation. It's SOAP done right! Exists for C++ and Java.
http://ws.apache.org/axis/
And in best traditions of Apache Foundation, it is FREE and OPENSOURCE.
So, enjoy!

I had to make SOAP calls for a project a while ago and the only acceptable solution I found was GSOAP.

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html

It supports both C and C++ code, although working with C++ is nicer and easier to understand. It worked ok although there was an incompatibility with our WCF web service which meant we had to manually edit the automagically generated source code.
