[Soap-Python] http-headers and soappy

[Johann Spies]

I am new to Soap and will appreciate help on the following please.

Using the following code (up to the ====) I could successfully get a
session_id which should be included in further queries in the http
headers.

>From the documentation:

	Header name:  Cookie
	Header value:  [SID="the session identifier"]


What would be the most simple way to include the session_id (SID) as
header in further queries?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
import warning
warnings.simplefilter('ignore',DeprecationWarning)
from SOAPpy import HeaderHandler
from SOAPpy import WSDL
from SOAPpy import URLopener
url= 'http://search.isiknowledge.com/esti/wokmws/ws/WOKMWSAuthenticate?wsdl'
url1 = URLopener.URLopener(username='xy',passwd='xy')
server=WSDL.Proxy(url1.open(url))
import os
if os.environ.has_key('http_proxy'):
    http_proxy_conf = os.environ['http_proxy'].replace('http://', '')
elif os.environ.has_key('HTTP_PROXY'):
    http_proxy_conf = os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'].replace('http://', '')
else:
    http_proxy_conf = 'proxy.sun.ac.za:3128'
    
server.soapproxy.http_proxy = http_proxy_conf
 
session_id = server.authenticate('http://auth.cxf.wokmws.thomsonreuters.com', 'authenticateResponse')
print "Session id: %s" % session_id

==============================

I have tried the following code (did not find much documentation that I
could understand) but I have to add another argument to HeaderHandler()
and I don't know what:

kopstukke = {'Name': 'Cookie', 'Value': 'SID = %s' % session_id}
hd = HeaderHandler(kopstukke)
hd.InteropTestHeader = session_id
hd._setMustUnderstand ('InteropTestHeader', 0)
hd._setActor ('InteropTestHeader','http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next')
server = server._hd (hd)
respons = server.authenticate('http://auth.cxf.wokmws.thomsonreuters.com', 'closeSession')

print server.authenticate('http://auth.cxf.wokmws.thomsonreuters.com', 'closeSesisonResponse')
 
     41 kopstukke = {'Name': 'Cookie', 'Value': 'SID = %s' % session_id}
---> 42 hd = HeaderHandler(kopstukke)
     43 hd.InteropTestHeader = session_id
     44 hd._setMustUnderstand ('InteropTestHeader', 0)

TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)
