If I get it right I'll let this listserve know.

I figured this part out.

I do seem to have CURL compiled and working properly

The post example would not work (I think). Its pretty confusing to me but
nowhere does it do I see where I would include the SOAP envelope as a field
or a value pair. According to my reading of the spec the body of the
request itself is the soap env. Does this make sense to you?

I have an HTTP sample which opens up the port (80) and send the entire
string including the headers and sends it over to the server. Is is
possible to do the same with CURL. Can I manually construct a message and
send it over https 433 port?
