Argument definitions

The wsb.request OMX that is returned by a call to wsb.wait-for-request.


Purpose

The wsb.has-known-request-type function is used in either the server or a service program to determine whether the request type is known. In a SOAP server, the criteria is that the request contains the SOAPAction HTTP header field. This function can be used to determine whether the wsb.request-name and wsb.request-type functions will succeed or if they'll throw exceptions.

In an XMLRPC server, the criteria is that the content type is text/xml, and that the "User-Agent:" and "Host:" headers are specified.

In a server with a user-defined protocol, the criteria is that the request has a HTTP header matching a type specified for a service via the wsb.add-service function.
