Hi,
I'm very newbie with SOAP and I hope you can help me for a probably very easy question that I cannot resolve.
I have to send an attachment (JPG, PDF or PNG) to a SOAP server (that I cannot modify because it's created from another organization).
I only have istructions for an XML like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:data="http://www.xxxxxx.it/Data">
<soapenv:Header />
<soapenv:Body>
<data:uploadImage>
<header>
<data:username></data:username>
<data:password></data:password>
</header>
<image>
<data:filename></data:filename>
<data:filedata></data:filedata>
</image>
</data:uploadImage>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

filedata is the attachment ID (something like cid:9999999999) Content-ID reference multipart/related.
Now I always used RTC (real thin client) library to work with this server when no attachment was needed, but now I don't know how to do to find attachment Content-ID and to send MIME type. 
I've tried to use Pocketsoap library and with that I can send the attachment but it seems (?) that I can't personalize the rest of my XML layout.
I hope I've been clear and sorry for newbie questions and the bad english :P
Hope you can help me.

Thanks.

I use the Indy components to send multipart data with something like this:


function PostVIAIndy( <parameters as needed> ): Boolean;
var
   IdHTTP: TIdHTTP;
   IdSSLIOHandlerSocket: TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL;
   tmpMPFDS: TIdMultiPartFormDataStream;
   tmpResult, URI: String;
begin
   Result := False;

   URI := GetMyCustomerURI;
   if URI = '' then
     Exit;

   tmpMPFDS:= TIdMultiPartFormDataStream.Create;
   IdHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create( nil );
   try
     tmpMPFDS.AddFormField( 'Name', 'value' );
     tmpMPFDS.AddFile( 'FileName', FileString, 'application/octet-stream' );

     if Pos( 'HTTPS://', UpperCase(URI) ) = 1 then
     begin
       IdSSLIOHandlerSocket := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create( nil );
       IdSSLIOHandlerSocket.SSLOptions.Method := sslvSSLv23;
       IdHTTP.IOHandler := IdSSLIOHandlerSocket;
     end;

     IdHTTP.HandleRedirects         := True;
     IdHTTP.Request.ContentType     := 'multipart/form-data';
     IdHTTP.Request.ContentLength   := Length( FileString );
     IdHTTP.Request.UserAgent       := 'ME';
     IdHTTP.Request.Connection      := 'close';
     IdHTTP.Request.Pragma          := 'no-cache';
     IdHTTP.AllowCookies := False;
     IdHTTP.HTTPOptions := [];

     try
       tmpResult := IdHTTP.Post( URI, tmpMPFDS );
     except on E:Exception do
       tmpResult := ''; // Indy raises exceptions for anything like a 
401 unauthorized, etc.
     end;
     if tmpResult <> '' then
       Result := True;
   finally
     FreeAndNil( IdHTTP );
     FreeAndNil( IdSSLIOHandlerSocket );
     FreeAndNil( tmpMPFDS );
   end;
end;

Hi daniel,
thank you very much for your reply.
In your code where is the zone in which I can define my XML code?

Thanks. Sorry for the newbieism.

anyone?
