[HaO] 2015-04-27: I am attacking the subject to write a more or less generic TCLWS [Web Service] client for SAP.
This is my "progress report page", which might involve the next days when I progress.

Thanks to Gerald W. Lester for the great package !

**Literature**

This is the book I am using for reference: [https://www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/sap-schnittstellenprogrammierung_3496/]

**Authentication**

SAP seems to use HTTP Basic Authentication.

Within this clt thread [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/uOAhxCNPLwk], JMar wrote how to use basic authentication:

#-- http basic authentication
set authinfo [ base64::encode $szUsername:$szPassword ]
set httpHeader [ list Authorization "Basic $authinfo" ]

set szResponseDct [ ::WS::Client::DoCall $szServiceName myMethod $myRequest $httpHeader ] 
======
