My SharePoint is using HTTPS, so I had to change the the $sp_domain value to "my_domain.com:443", and it worked well. Thank you, this is very useful.

As an old Perl hacker transformed into SharePoint hacker, I'm thrilled at the new(old) possibities. The .NET guys think I'm crazy, but I think the same about them.

Just a note: I hacked for literally a day on this, getting the 401 error issue, until I changed the following line:

my @credentials = ($sp_domain, “”, $sp_endpoint, $sp_password);

to

my @credentials = ($sp_domain, “”, $sp_username, $sp_password);

Now it works great!

I am using Perl 5.8.8 with SOAP::Lite 0.710.08 - all built from source - on CentOS 5.3 1. Escape the backslash in $sp_username = 'DOMAIN\\username'; 2. The update would NOT work with a Library Document Item - you need to supply the ID *AND* FileRef - uses spaces - not %20 - for example: $sp_ref = "http://sp.example.com/sites/mysite/My Library/file 1.txt"; my $field_id = name('Field', $sp_id)->attr({ Name => 'ID'}); my $field_ref = name('Field', $sp_ref)->attr({ Name => 'FileRef'}); my $field_something = name('Field', $something_else)->attr({ Name => 'Something_x0020_Else'}); my $method = name('Method', [$field_id, $field_appname])->attr({ ID => 1, Cmd => 'Update'}); FYI - FileRef was NOT required when updating a List Item 3. Not sure what the $jira_name was set to in the example above - but all other examples (mostly VB/.NET based) I saw on the web had ID = 1 - this worked for me 4. I also had to make the change in comment #9 above to get the authentication to work - using Authen::NTLM 1.05 Thanks for posting this info - Here are some things to add I learned while getting it to work on my Sharepoint server…

I am using Perl 5.8.8 with SOAP::Lite 0.710.08 - all built from source - on CentOS 5.3

1. Escape the backslash in $sp_username = ‘DOMAIN\\username’;

2. The update would NOT work with a Library Document Item - you need to supply the ID *AND* FileRef - uses spaces - not %20 - for example:

$sp_ref = “http://sp.example.com/sites/mysite/My Library/file 1.txt”;

my $field_id = name(’Field’, $sp_id)->attr({ Name => ‘ID’});
my $field_ref = name(’Field’, $sp_ref)->attr({ Name => ‘FileRef’});
my $field_something = name(’Field’, $something_else)->attr({ Name => ‘Something_x0020_Else’});
my $method = name(’Method’, [$field_id, $field_appname])->attr({ ID => 1, Cmd => ‘Update’});

FYI - FileRef was NOT required when updating a List Item

3. Not sure what the $jira_name was set to in the example above - but all other examples (mostly VB/.NET based) I saw on the web had ID = 1 - this worked for me

4. I also had to make the change in comment #9 above to get the authentication to work - using Authen::NTLM 1.05

I really should have mentioned that in my post. I simply did what meep suggested - replace: $domain = substr($challenge, $c_info->{domain}{offset}, $c_info->{domain}{len}); with: $domain = &unicode($domain); If that doesn't help, you're going to have to turn on debugging on LWP and get the full headers and see if you work out what's going wrong. Feel free to email them directly to me and I may be able to provide some insight. James Hi Andy - I completely forgot about that issue I had. I really should have mentioned that in my post.

I'm running this code against an IIS 6.0 server and using the perl module Authen::Ntlm version 1.05. I noticed that you commented on a defect that is supposedly fixed in this version because you were having some problems accessing an IIS/60 server. (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=9521) Could you provide more information about the patch you applied because I think i'm having the same problem and no matter what I do, it doesn't change the outcome :( Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you so much for posting!! I've been struggling to get to the data on our MOSS sites via Perl, but have been stymied by credentials sometimes working, sometimes not. Your instructions helped tremendously!! The $soap->schema->useragent call didn't work for me either, but that may be because I am using an "ancient" SOAP::Lite version... dated 2002. Prolly wouldn't hurt to upgrade... :) Thanks very much! Ahh… very awesome!! Thank you so much for posting!!
