curl speaks HTTP. This source snippet seems to be a webservice/soap thing, so
that API and other things your code does probably ends up in a XML-chunk being
sent over HTTP to a server.

So sure, you can make curl send XML blobs to servers. But curl (or PHP/CURL
for that matter) won't help you generate the SOAP (or any other XML) message
you might need. I suggest you read up on the specs and standards for the
protocol you're about to use, or you wireshark what your existing app
sends/receives...
