Suggestion: a few more pointers in the initial docs regarding soap setup for new users

Feature request

Added information to documentation aimed for individuals not so familiar with SOAP to begin with.

Motivation for this feature:

Several days of troubleshooting Savon gem only to turn to the python equivalent which worked out of the box. Now after a couple of years due to a revision i wanted to return to ruby. That is when i finally discovered the reason for the issues.

There was no presence of: wsse_timestamp: true

as a new user of SOAP services, i was not aware this was used as a security checkpoint during negotiation with the WDSL.

Proposed implementation:

  • Added documentation to shed more light on "common" practices within SOAP aimed at new users.

and:

  • Added example with wsse_timestamp

Additionally one can consider:

  • Add default wsse_timestamp: true

Would this introduce a breaking change?

Not to my knowledge.

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

no, the documentation and evaluation of this suggestion should be implemented by someone who knows more about SOAP then me.
