What class for sending XML in SOAP over HTTPS/WS-Security

Hello,

I have raw XML that I want to package as a SOAP message and send over HTTP
to some web service end-point. Later on I'm gonna need it to be wrapped into
a SSL tunnel too, with full WS-Security support. What class is easiest for me
to use?

(I can not use the add webreference / generate proxy class thing because my
program needs to support new web services without recompile plus not even
half of my end-points even provide WSDL for their web services :/)

Regards,
Martin

I guess WSE 3.0 offers all you need, but...

.... hand coding the client-side may be more effort than providing the required
WSDL in order to generate proxies, assuming we're not talking about hundreds
of Web services.

Do you know which WSE class would be best suitable? I looked at for instance
"SoapClient" but I don't understand why it must be subclassed? Shouldn't
there be some simpler soap client class or is that one my only choice?

It's many but not _that_ many. However, I need to be able to support new web
services without stopping, let alone recompiling, the program...
