NAME
SOAP::Client - exists purely as a superclass for client classes declared by the various
SOAP::Lite transport modules.

DESCRIPTION
The SOAP::Client class exists purely as a superclass for client classes declared by the
various SOAP::Lite transport modules. The methods it provides are all simple accessors;
they return the current value when called with no arguments or set the attribute value and
return the object reference when called with an argument. These attributes include:

METHODS
code, message, status
Stores the response code, message, and status from the most-recent send attempt. For
some protocols, such as FTP, the same value is used for all three because of the lack
of finer-grained detail (the default is to ensure that all three attributes contain
data, even if redundant). Other protocols (such as HTTP) have distinct values in each.

endpoint
Identifies the current endpoint to which messages are being sent. This should match
the value of the transport method from the SOAP::Transport class, but setting this
doesn't propagate to the transport object. It is better to use the transport object
(or the shortcut via the SOAP::Lite object itself) when setting this.

is_success
The success or failure of the most-recent transmission is noted here as a boolean
value.

options
The options attribute keeps a hash-table reference of additional options and their
values. At present, only one option is used by any of the transport modules:

compress_threshold
The value of this option should be a numerical value. If set, and if the
Compress::Zlib library is available, messages whose size in bytes exceeds this
value will be compressed before sending. Both ends of the conversation must have
it enabled.

Other options may be defined using this mechanism. Note that setting the options using
this accessor requires a full hash reference be passed. To set just one or a few
values, consider retrieving the current reference value and using it to set the
key(s).
