[Fedora-suds-list] Re: Suds and Sharepoint

[Jeff Ortel]

Thanks Kevin.

I'm getting a (401) authorization error to start with.  I quickly reviewed the links and 
didn't see any username/password credentials.  Do you know of a username/password?

As for the XmlNodes, I'll have to look through the wsdl to see whether it is XML or a 
string containing XML.

The WSDL files can be accessed as described in the developer.com article in my earlier message, e.g. http://www.wssdemo.com/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL .
