1 2DISTRIBUTION NOTES 3 4To install gSOAP, unpack the archive. You will get the following files: 5 6README.txt read this first 7LICENSE.txt license information 8NOTES.txt this file 9license.html gSOAP public license (HTML), see LICENSE.txt 10license.pdf gSOAP public license (PDF), see LICENSE.txt 11gpl.txt GPL license, see LICENSE.txt 12 13The 'gsoap' folder contains essential source code for the run-time libraries: 14 15stdsoap2.h header file for stdsoap2.c[pp] 16stdsoap2.c library and gSOAP runtime 17stdsoap2.cpp library (identical to stdsoap2.c) 18dom.c C DOM parser 19dom.cpp C++ DOM parser 20 21and the following folders: 22 23bin binaries 24doc documentation, including soapdoc2.html, soapdoc2.pdf 25samples examples 26extras contributed extras 27import #import-ed header files for soapcpp2 compiler 28plugin plug-in examples 29custom custom serializers for various data types 30mod_gsoap contributed Apache mod_gsoap, IIS, and WinInet support 31src gSOAP soapcpp2 compiler sources 32wsdl WSDL parser wsdl2h sources 33WS typemap.dat and WS-* protocol schemas 34uddi2 UDDI v2 35 36All examples are available in the 'samples' subdirectory. 37 38The 'gsoap_mod' directory includes Apache 1.x and 2.0 mods for gSOAP, IIS, and 39WinInet support. WinInet allows gsoap to use the WinInet API instead of calls 40to the socket API. The primary benefit of this arrangement is that "if IE 41works, your program will work". There is no need to read proxy settings from 42the registry, deal with proxy configuration scripts, etc. Changes in the 43"Internet Options" dialog box will immediately take effect in your program. 44Additionally, this will allow gsoap to handle forms of authentication not yet 45supported natively, such as NTLM (Integrated Windows Authentication), etc. 46 47Contributions are included in the 'extras' directory and 'mod_gsoap'. 48 49
