How to add custom parameter and its corresponding value in the HTTP header using the Windows-win32-webservices.h library

Shree (Contractor) 0

I have implemented a SOAP web service client in C++ using MS Visual Studio 2019 and library “WebServices.h”, in order to consume a SOAP web service.

SOAP webservice that I am consuming requires a custom parameter and its corresponding value in the HTTP header.

I want to know how to achieve this. I couldn’t find any documentation for adding custom headers like this.

Note: Using WsAddCustomHeader, adds header in the SOAP header and not in the HTTP header.

Does WsAddMappedHeader or WsSetHeader work for you? Also check samples about them.

Above shared link "samples" i can see only example codes in server/host side code.
i searched , but didn't find any sample code for client side example.

I have no idea, how WsAddMappedHeader or WsSetHeader can be used in client side.
Share if any sample code snippet available for client.

I need to add custom parameter and its corresponding value in the Client-side HTTP header.

Can you use WinHttpAddRequestHeadersEx? For example, Add the "Content-Type" header.

I am using the Webservices.h library.
The suggested WinHttpAddRequestHeadersEx sample uses winHttp.h library, is it feasible to use in webservices.h library ? if it possible, share how it can be done(usually its not possible to achieve because both are different library).

please suggest the Sample from the webservices.h library

SOAP webservice that I am consuming requires a custom parameter and its corresponding value in the HTTP header.

As Message (Windows Web Services) indicates, there is no way to add headers in HTTP header with Windows Web Services API.

here WS_HTTP_HEADER_AUTH_SECURITY_BINDING, here we are able to add the Authorization(key) and corresponding value in HTTP header.

we can able to add in the HTTP header.
API WS_HTTP_HEADER_AUTH_SECURITY_BINDING, here we are able to add the Authorization(key) and corresponding value in HTTP header.

So similarly, how to achieve the add custom parameter and its corresponding value in the Client-side HTTP header using WebServices.h library.
