Re: Help with HTTPAPI "SOAP protocol"



Hi Jeff,

This particular web service (according to it's WSDL, anyway) can accept 
input/output using several different protocols.  They are SOAP, SOAP12, 
HttpGet and HttpPost.

They all do exactly the same thing.  They only offer alternatives to 
make the web service accessible to a wider range of client software.

HTTPAPI can send data in all of these different ways, as well, depending 
on the parameters you sent to HTTPAPI.

In your instance, you're using the HttpPost method.  The difference 
between SOAP (which also uses POST) and a flat HttpPost is the 
content-type.  You are sending a content type of 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded -- and that corresponds to the 
HttpPost on the web service.

Unfortunately, the actual DATA you're sending isn't URL encoded -- it's 
SOAP data, and that's confusing the heck out of the web service.  You've 
told it you're using URL Encoding, but you're not, you're using SOAP. 
The web service is confused by this.

Try changing your content type to 'application/soap+xml' -- this is the 
correct content-type for SOAP version 1.2.  (Version 1.1 used text/xml 
-- but I don't think this web service supports version 1.1)

SOAP version 1.2 also sends the SoapAction parameter a little 
differently.  In version 1.1 it's passed via HTTPAPI's peSoapAction 
parameter -- in version 1.2, they made it a part of the content-type so 
the content-type is something like:

     'application/soap+xml; soapaction=XXXXXXX'

not sure if you need to change the way you're sneding the SOAPAction or 
not -- if one method doesn't work, try the next.
