.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This Apache Perl module provides the ability to add support for \s-1SOAP\s0 (Simple
Object Access Protocol) protocol with easy configuration (either in .conf or
in .htaccess file). This functionality should give you lightweight option
for hosting \s-1SOAP\s0 services and greatly simplify configuration aspects. This
module inherits functionality from SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache component
of SOAP::Lite module.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION"
The module can be placed in <Location>, <Directory>, <Files>, <FilesMatch>
directives in main server configuration areas or directly in .htaccess file.
.PP
All parameters should be quoted and can be separated with commas or spaces
for lists (\*(L"a, b, c\*(R") and with 'wide arrows' and commas for hash parameters
(\*(L"key1 => value1, key2 => value2\*(R").
.PP
All options that you can find in SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache component
are available for configuration. Here is the description of most important
ones.
.IP "dispatch_to (\s-1LIST\s0)" 4
.IX Item "dispatch_to (LIST)"
Specifies path to directory that contains Perl modules you'd like to give
access to, or just list of modules (for preloaded modules).

\&  PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"
.Ve
.IP "options (\s-1HASH\s0)" 4
.IX Item "options (HASH)"
Specifies list of options for your module, for example threshold for
compression. Future versions will support more options. See
SOAP::Transport::HTTP documentation for other options.
