ABAP code and konfiguration for consuming secure web services

[Former Member]

I need some help/links on how to create an abap program (on 4.6 or WAS 620, or 640 if not possible in older releases) to consume a web service with authentication using certificates based on WS security (<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss">http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss</a>) or client certificates. The request must include attachment in DIME or base64 format (preferably DIME).

On 4.6 I have used the FM HTTP_POST with the if_ixml interface to consume web services, but I don't know if it can handle https authentication and attachements.

Thank you.

It seems like I have to base this on WAS640.

[athavanraja]

even with WAS6.20 you can do that. you need to use CL_HTTP_CLIENT and you can pass certificate details along with the request .
