It took me a while to properly establish a password protected client connection via https on windows/apache1.3. Here my little guide:
1. The SOAP extension isn't activated by default (PHP5 RC1). Just add "extension=php_soap.dll" to the php.ini and don't forget to set the extension_dir properly (in most cases "c:\php\ext").
2. Add "extension=php_openssl.dll" to the php.ini. This module depends on libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll - copy them from your php folder to your system32 folder.
3. Restart apache
4. The sourcecode
$client = new SoapClient("https://yourLogin:yourPassword@foo.com/bar.wsdl", array(
"login" => "yourLogin",
"password" => "yourPassword",
"trace" => 1,
"exceptions" => 0));
$client->yourFunction();
print "<pre>\n";
print "Request: \n".htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()) ."\n";
print "Response: \n".htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastResponse())."\n";
print "</pre>";
Currently it seems to be necessary to add your login and password both in the uri and in the options array. Not sure if this is the expected behavior.
