Curl command line for consuming webServices?

Do you guys know how I can use the Curl command line to POST SOAP to test a web service?

I have a file (soap.xml) which has all the soap message attached to it I just don't seem to be able to properly post it.

Thanks!

Wrong. That doesn't work for me.

For me this one works:

curl 
-H 'SOAPACTION: "urn:samsung.com:service:MainTVAgent2:1#CheckPIN"'   
-X POST 
-H 'Content-type: text/xml'   
-d @/tmp/pinrequest.xml 
192.168.1.5:52235/MainTVServer2/control/MainTVAgent2

curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" \
-H "SOAPAction:" \
-d @soap.txt -X POST http://someurl

For a SOAP 1.2 Webservice, I normally use

curl --header "content-type: application/soap+xml" --data @filetopost.xml http://domain/path

If you want a fluffier interface than the terminal, http://hurl.it/ is awesome.

Posting a string:

curl -d "String to post" "http://www.example.com/target"

Posting the contents of a file:

curl -d @soap.xml "http://www.example.com/target"
