Send Utility

DESCRIPTION

send is the Novell exteNd Web Services SDK send utility. The send program establishes a TCP connection with the specified remote host and remote port, and sends the content of the specified file to the remote host. It prints out a response from the remote host on the console. This is a nice tool for debugging Web Services. For example, if a client wants to communicate with a web-service and is having some difficulty, one can use the send utility to send an already prepared message to the remotehost and see what it returns.

To send the content from a file called request.txt to a remote host test.uddi.microsoft do:

   send test.uddi.microsoft.com 80 request.txt

Please note that send uses a TCP connection to transfer the contents of the file and hence any transport/protocol specific information should be in the file itself. For example if you want to send a SOAP message over HTTP, the content of the file should be an HTTP request containing HTTP headers with the soap message, for the message to be understood by the endpoint HTTP SOAP receiver.

SYNOPSIS
