I am consuming a web service using an interface automatically generated from a RODL file.  
Is there a way to send attachments using the CID URI scheme?

Thanks

Sure,  
The raw request should be as follows:

```

    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Hi,

this feature isn’t supported, but you can do it manually:  
you can use [Channel.OnSendStream](https://docs.remotingsdk.com/API/Delphi/Classes/TROTransportChannel/#OnSendStream) event and modify stream that will be sent to server.

for adding attachment you can use class from `uROMime.pas` unit
