Description: ------------ I'm calling using soapclient a SOAP server that uses Perl. It returns (amongst other things) values that are base64 encoded (and sets the type="SOAP-ENC:base64" attribute on the corresponding XML tag). The type gets propagated to the $soapvalue->type property, however, it is never decoded, and $soap_client->_parse returns the base64 encoded value, in the corresponding structure. The problem is the fact that in this structure, there is no way of knowing if I should further process it and apply base64_encode on the value or not. Also, sorry, the SOAP service is only available in local network. Reproduce code: --------------- Here is the patch (sorry, text, being on windows, not too confortable with patch/diff tools): in SOAP/Base.php, in the method _decode (line 835), replace: return $soapval->value; with if ($soapval->type == 'base64') { return base64_decode($soapval->value); } else { return $soapval->value; } Expected result: ---------------- This should correct the problem, and decode the string when it is needed.

Sorry, I spoke too soon, one more modification needed: Base.php, line 808: replace: if ($soapval->arrayType && $this->_isSoapValue($item)) { $item->type = $soapval->arrayType; } with: if ($soapval->arrayType && $this->_isSoapValue($item)) { if ($item->type == 'base64' && $soapval->arrayType != 'base64') { // must decode if we are losing the base64 information $item->value = base64_decode($item->value); } $item->type = $soapval->arrayType; }

Sorry, no file attachment permitted. Here is the result XML (search for "mission" to get to the base64 part) Let me know if you need more information, and thanks for your response. -------8<------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
