Posting XML To HTTPS

Good afternoon,

I am looking to query a private web server by uploading an XML request and reading the XML response. In VBA I use code similar to this:

         Dim oWinhttp As WinHttpRequest
         Set oWinhttp = New WinHttpRequest
         Dim result As Variant

    With oWinhttp
         Call .SetTimeouts(300000, 300000, 300000, 300000)
         Call .Open("POST", "https://xml.service.com/comm/xml/submit")
         Call .SetCredentials("username", "password", 0)
         Call .SetRequestHeader("POST", "/comm/xml/submit HTTP/1.1")
         Call .SetRequestHeader("HOST", "xmltrn.xml.com")
         Call .SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")
         Call .SetRequestHeader("Content-Length", Len(sXML))
         Call .SetRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "/comm/xml/submit")
         Call .Send(sXML)

         'Wait for the response asynchronously.
         Call .WaitForResponse
         result = .ResponseText

Where sXML contains the XML file to be submitted.

Is there any way to perform this operation easily from MatLab?

If you're on the latest version of matlab (2015a), then I believe webwrite will do exactly the same.

In older versions of matlab, I don't believe there's anything, but you could always delegate to java or .Net
