Today I spent a decent amount of time to realise that PHP 5.3.1 and its SoapServer doesn’t handle provided SoapHeaders as it should. If you provide a SoapHeader named ‘authenticate’ the corresponding method ‘authenticate’ should get executed before any other method – but seems to be ignored with the specified version (on windows using XAMPP).

After upgrading to PHP 5.3.5 (as in the latest XAMPP package) everything works as expected.
