WSF/PHP Demo Site services can be accessed via https (Secured HTTP) transport. For an example you can access the echo service via https from https://2ec2.wso2.org/samples/echo_service.php endpoint. This can be used to identify whether you WSF/PHP instance is built with SSL enabled. (Note that from WSF/PHP 2.0.0 onwards, You have SSL enabled by default both in Linux and Windows, so for newer releases you don’t need explicitly set that when compiling).

Here is a sample client I used to connect to the https service. The only thing new from the traditional echo client is it has specified “CACert” option and the URL is pointing to a https service.

<?php
$requestPayloadString = <<<XML
<ns1:echoString xmlns:ns1="http://wso2.org/wsfphp/samples"><text>Hello World!</text></ns1:echoString>
XML;

try {

    $client = new WSClient(array( "to" => "https://2ec2.wso2.org/samples/echo_service.php",
                                "CACert" => "./resources/cacert.pem"));

    $responseMessage = $client->request( $requestPayloadString );

    printf("Response = %s <br>", htmlspecialchars($responseMessage->str));

} catch (Exception $e) {

    if ($e instanceof WSFault) {
        printf("Soap Fault: %s\\n", $e->Reason);
    } else {
        printf("Message = %s\\n",$e->getMessage());
    }

}
?>
