How can I send SOAP XML via Curl and PHP?

Question

This has been bugging me for days; I\'m trying to send a SOAP post via Curl but I just keep getting a \"couldn\'t connect to host\" error, but, I really can\'t see how.

For those finding this from Google, I ran into a similar problem, trying to interact with a .NET SOAP server from PHP, when the ASP method worked fine.

I used a packet sniffer to see what the ASP client was sending, exactly, and noticed it included cookies after the initial authentication request. So I enabled cookies in my cURL and it worked fine.

$cookiePath = tempnam('/tmp', 'cookie');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiePath);
