SOAP的请求在Web Service是无处不在的，像WCF服务和传统ASMX asp.net的web Service。如果要测试SOAP服务是否好用通过web编程来实现就显得太过于复杂了，下面的脚本片段(snippet)将会轻而易举的完成通过powershell测试和调用SOAP服务：

这是一段程序代码。

复制代码 代码如下:

function Execute-SOAPRequest

(

[Xml] $SOAPRequest,

[String] $URL

)

{

write-host "Sending SOAP Request To Server: $URL"

$soapWebRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($URL)

$soapWebRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction","`"http://www.facilities.co.za/valid8service/valid8service/Valid8Address`"")

$soapWebRequest.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=`"utf-8`""

$soapWebRequest.Accept = "text/xml"

$soapWebRequest.Method = "POST"

write-host "Initiating Send."

$requestStream = $soapWebRequest.GetRequestStream()

$SOAPRequest.Save($requestStream)

$requestStream.Close()

write-host "Send Complete, Waiting For Response."

$resp = $soapWebRequest.GetResponse()

$responseStream = $resp.GetResponseStream()

$soapReader = [System.IO.StreamReader]($responseStream)

$ReturnXml = [Xml] $soapReader.ReadToEnd()

$responseStream.Close()

write-host "Response Received."

return $ReturnXml

}

$url = 'http://www.facilities.co.za/valid8service/valid8service.asmx'

$soap = [xml]@'

<"1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">

<soap12:Body>

<Valid8Address xmlns="http://www.facilities.co.za/valid8service/valid8service">

<ID>string</ID>

<Address1></Address1>

<Address2></Address2>

<Address3></Address3>

<Address4></Address4>

<Address5></Address5>

<Address6></Address6>

<PostCode></PostCode>

</Valid8Address>

</soap12:Body>

</soap12:Envelope>

'@

$ret = Execute-SOAPRequest $soap $url

在这里得到的$ret变量中存储的是System.Xml.XmlDocument对象，如果需要查看其中的具体内容可以通过Export-Clixml这个cmdlet将其输出到本地文件中查看。

这是一段程序代码。

复制代码 代码如下:

$ret | Export-Clixml c:1.xml;Get-Content c:1.xml
