Outgoing Web Services

Reality's outgoing web services feature enables DataBasic programmers to call third-party web services over HTTP.

You do not need to know SOAP and HTTP to implement these services, but familiarity with XML is advised.

The feature consists of the following elements:

• A set of DataBasic functions that enable easy access to an HTTP server.

  These functions enable you to build your own web services interface (for example, if you do not have access to a WSDL file).

• A set of DataBasic functions for processing SOAP request and response messages.

• Service code to enable secure sockets level encryption.

The HTTP interface supports proxy servers and the data encryption layer used by the HTTPS interface.
