[dev] WSDL binding in the SOAP server

[Jan Schneider]

Zitat von John Morrissey <jwm at horde.net>:

The WSDL generation should work without being authenticated, right? And
parallel requests only block if *both* are using sessions, right? The you
should be able to put something like

if (isset($_GET['wsdl'])) {
     $session_control = 'none';
}

before lib/base.php gets included.
