It will come in handy for many of us. Thanks for your hard work implementing a Web Services class for AS3. It will come in handy for many of us.

Thank you so much for your contribution! Again, I have only used this class with web services created in ASP.NET and had no idea how to test for other types of services as I don't have access to them. I will add your code and give it a couple test runs, if all goes well I will release the next package with it. Now that it's been brought up, if anyone else has any issues with using this class please leave a comment, I'm more than happy to do my part on research. Great work Vladimir!

Your classes are really extremely useful us!!! I've tried to use it with our java based server. Our WSDL documents are generated by X-Fire. While parsing this document there were no availble Web Service methods got:( I took a look throw your sources and it seems to be a bug in WSDL.as class. In method getBinding() there were no bindings found while parsing wsdl document. In your code service.wsdl::port.@name is compared with portType. Is it really right? I've modified this method in the next way: <code> private function getBinding(portType:String):String{ var wsdl:Namespace = __rawWSDL.namespace(); var service:XMLList = __rawWSDL.wsdl::service; // var myPort:XMLList = service.wsdl::port.(@name == portType); var binding:XMLList = __rawWSDL.wsdl::binding.(@type.substr(@type.indexOf(":")+1) == portType); var addressNS:Namespace = service.wsdl::port.children()[0].namespace(); __servicePath = service.wsdl::port.addressNS::address.@location; var bindingAmount:Number = binding.length(); if(bindingAmount == 1){ return (binding.@name); } else if(bindingAmount >0 ) { return binding[0].@name; } return(""); } </code> Now it seems to be work properly. I've test my changes with our X-fire generated WSDL documents, http://ws.cdyne.com/ip2geo/ip2geo.asmx?WSDL document and http://mail.yahooapis.com/ws/mail/v1.1/wsdl document. In all this cases modificatitons works propertly :) Probably this will be useful for you:) Thanks one more time for your code!!! Best regards, Vladimir Hi!

Unfortunately, this class was designed for regular queries. But it's something that I will keep in mind for the next version. Thanks for bringing that topic up, gmalta.

This class has not been fully tested with anything else which is why I posted it for others to use, so I know what it can and can't do. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work over https, but it is an interesting question, I'll have to look further into that. I'll let you know if I find anything.
