testing webservices from sahi works !!! (XMLHttpRequest)

hi,
I had success running webservices simple example from sahi using XMLHttpRequest (js library)
Configuration: Firefox 3.6 + sahi_20110719
Here is how in 3 steps


1. append to concat.js 
Sahi.prototype._webServiceRequest = function (url) {
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", "http://myserver.com/ws/",false);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
request.send("<StatusRQ  versionNumber=\"1.0.0\" xmlns=\"http://myserver.com/ns/myapp/V1\"><RequestID>670222</RequestID></StatusRQ>"); 
return true;

2. append to normal_functions.txt 
_webServiceRequest


3. run from sahi console - important, the url should be within: "http://myserver.com/" 
_webServiceRequest();
Should get "true" response

Thanks Raman for telling me this should be possible
Now there is a lot of work, to make it "out of box solution" :)
Have fun!
Lech

    You can test Web services by calling Web methods from unit tests. Testing Web services is much like testing other code by using unit tests in that you can use Assert statements, and the tests produce the same range of results.

    The final function that we use now (thanks to Piotr) looks like this
    (add to concat.js and normal functions of sahi 3.5)
    Please note it may not work with your webservice because of different
    Envelope and headers 
    Sahi.prototype._webServiceRequest = function (url, XMLdata, ath) {
    
    try
    {
        request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    catch (e)
    {
        return false;
    }
    
    request.open("POST", url, false);
    request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
    request.setRequestHeader("ATH", ath);
    request.send(XMLdata);
    
    var response = {};
    
    response.statusText=request.statusText;
    response.status=request.status;
    response.responseText=request.responseText;

    return response;
};

    then in sahi script we use 
    WebServices.prototype.webServiceLoadRequest = function(XMLRequest, $Name)
{
    _log("Send XML message", "custom5");
    var $sendXML = "";
    var $responseText = "";
    var $athHeader = this.getATHHeader();
    var $requestID = "";
    var $url = this.getEndPoint();
    
    var $XMLLoadRQ = XMLEnvelope.replace("{XMLSoapHeader}", XMLSoapHeaderLoadRQ).replace("{request}", XMLRequest).replace("{Name}", $Name);    
    $sendXML = $XMLLoadRQ.replace( /</g, "&lt;" ).replace( />/g, "&gt;");
    _log("<PRE>" + $sendXML + "</PRE>");

    _set($response, _webServiceRequest($url, $XMLLoadRQ, $athHeader));
    $responseText = $response.responseText.replace( /</g, "&lt;" ).replace( />/g, "&gt;");
    _log("<PRE>" + $responseText + "</PRE>");
    _assertEqual($response.statusText, "OK");
    //_assertEqual($response.status, 200);
    
    $requestID = $response.responseText.match(/[0-9]{7}/)[0];
    _log("<PRE>" + "RequestID: "+ $requestID + "</PRE>");
    return $requestID;
};
