Thanks for submitting this. What you have posted appears to deal with a
WSDL service that requires client authentication. I am talking about a
proxy server that sits between the client and the WSDL service. Right
now I am noodling around with SOAP::Env.getenv('http_proxy') to see if
I can get the username:password portion of the URI to parse out so I
can use the #setHttpProxy method. We'll see...
