I'm having a bit of grief getting our webhosts to enable the php http
libraries so I can make an http_get() call to GeoServer. What I can do is
issue SOAP requests. I read http://www.nabble.com/Accessing-WFS-through-WSDL----tf2316093.html#a6472672
this post which suggests there is a soap wrapper for queries. (not sure if
I am reading that right) but I can't find any documentation of how to issue
a query via soap. Can you do that? Cheers. Dan

There's no way now afaik... we don't implement WFS 1.1 at the moment, and I really don't know if the soap wrappers will be implemented
in the wfs 1.1 that's in the works (and that will be released no earlier
than February anyways).
So, for at least months to come, the answer is that you can't do a SOAP call to geoserver...
Yeah, currently there's no way to wrap the WMS/WFS calls in SOAP requests...however I'm on the hook to implement this for my organization. They're having the same issues as you're having, Dan (only on a larger enterprise-security level). They need to use SOAP so that they can "inspect" the contents of cross-firewall WMS/WFS requests and validate/filter them.
So I've got this one on my list, but probably won't get to it till January/February. Sometime after ArcSDE Rasters!

How is it they can inspect SOAP and not the HTTP protocols SOAP is built upon? me? GET/POST requests should be the bread and butter of firewall HTTP checks?
I'm really no expert here, always played on port level only, but
I find it strange nonetheless...
It should be pretty easy to implement. It's part of WFS 1.1, but the CITE tests aren't testing it, so we've not implemented it yet. But the spec just says you wrap the normal requests in SOAP, and then return SOAP exceptions if things go wrong. So the parser just needs to check for the soap wrapper and make a note.
Saul, if you implement it's probably best to do on the ows4/wfs 1.1 branch. Though hopefully it should be on trunk in time for you to do.
