    # Warranty request script for Dell PCs
    # Written by Adam Nielsen <adam.nielsen@uq.edu.au>
    # This code is in the public domain, and is supplied with no warranty.
    #
    # This script uses Dell's web service to retrieve the most distant warranty expiration
    # date for a given machine, as identified by its service tag. It requires curl and awk.
    # It doesn't parse the WSDL or anything nice like that, it just sends a precomposed
    # request to the server and extracts the relevant info from the response.
