[Fedora-suds-list] Empty string instead of xsi:nil in request

Hello Jeff,

thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the schema doesn't set xsi:nil="true", but what it does in  
the webservice definition is:

<message name="method0Request">
   <part name="param0" type="xsd:integer" use="required"/>
   <part name="param1" type="xsd:string" use="optional"/>
</message>

AFAIK with use="optional/required", it should also have something like  
ref="wsdl:required" to work although I am not sure.

I would be most happy with a solution similar to Binding.replyfilter when  
it goes about "patching" the response, although I will be glad with  
everything that works. As I mentioned, the Webservice I am using is a PHP  
Webservice and the PHP example that service provider gave me works and, as  
I investigated, it sends xsi:nil="true" in the request. But I don't want  
to use ugly PHP, I want to use pretty SUDS since I like it very much :-)
