how to configure soap lite client to consuming a WCF service with wshttpbinding?

Question

I have a soap lite client consuming a wcf service. I tested everything on basichttpbinding and it works fine. When I switch the binding to wshttpbinding:

<endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="customWsBinding"
          contract="LogisticServiceLibrary.ILogisticService" />

and changed the soap lite version to use 1.2:

$client = SOAP::Lite
        ->proxy($endpoint)
    ->soapversion('1.2');

then it gives me an error and below is the output from SOAPUI:

It says 400 Bad Request... Any idea what's going on?

I have gotten past that point now after reading this: link now another problem occures. Has anyone actually configured soap lite to work with wshttpbinding before? — gavin

Using WSHttpBinding requires that the client speak SOAP 1.2 and also understand ws-addressing, ws-reliablemessaging, ws-security, ws-policy and ws-policyassertion. I doubt SOAP::Lite understands any of that, hence the "Lite" nomenclature. BasicHttpBinding is pretty basic, just like SOAP::Lite :)
