Is it possible to send/receive data to/from a SOAP web service from unmanaged C++/MFC code?

Question

I have an C++/MFC project that I need to connect to a SOAP web service from to send data and receive a response. Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

On Windows 7 and later you can use the Windows Web Services API

which will work fine from a C++ application.

There are tools that can help you do it, such as gSOAP, which works basically as you would expect it too (similar to Java and .NET WSDL to code generators).
