Re: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .

Alvin,

There are lots of things I do not understand with your XML request message. 
I found the following WSDL file that hopefully is the right one:

    http://www.shipontrac.net/OnTracAPI/RateRequest.asmx?WSDL

First I do not understand what operation of the web service you are trying 
to call. I do not see any reference to "OnTracRateRequest" in the WSDL 
file. But since there is a "Rate_Request_XML" somewhere in your request I 
assume that you try to call operation "Rate_Request_XML" of port type 
"RateRequestSoap" of binding "RateRequestSoap" or "RateRequestSoap12".

Based on that assumption I am missing the proper SOAP action value which 
should be "www.shipontrac.net/Rate_Request_XML" for both bindings. Also 
notice the way soapUI specifies the SOAP action attribute as part of the 
"Content-Type" http header:

Content-Type: 
application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8;action="www.shipontrac.net/RateAll_Request_XML"

Second you XML request is not well-formed. I had to disable the line right 
before the closing tag of the "Body" element to get a well-formed XML:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; 
xmlns:ship="www.shipontrac.net">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>"www.shipontrac.net/ship:Rate_Request_XML"
     <ship:xmlIN>
       <OnTracRateRequest>
         <RequestReference>123456a</RequestReference>
         <account>**acct**</account>
         <password>**PW**</password>
         <package>
           <delzip>93711</delzip>
           <puzip>93030</puzip>
           <service>S</service>
           <COD>0</COD>
           <declared/>
           <type>p</type>
           <saturdayDel>false</saturdayDel>
           <weight>10</weight>
           <DIM>
             <length/>
             <width/>
             <height/>
           </DIM>
         </package>
       </OnTracRateRequest>
     </ship:xmlIN>
     <!-- disabled to get a well formed XML
   <www.shipontrac.net/ship:Rate_Request_XML>
   -->
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Furthermore I do not understand the

    "www.shipontrac.net/ship:Rate_Request_XML">

string right after the opening "Body" element. So perhaps a proper request 
is close to this one:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"; 
xmlns:ship="www.shipontrac.net">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
     <ship:RateAll_Request_XML>
       <ship:xmlIN>
           <RequestReference>123456a</RequestReference>
           <account>**acct**</account>
           <password>**PW**</password>
           <package>
             <delzip>93711</delzip>
             <puzip>93030</puzip>
             <service>S</service>
             <COD>0</COD>
             <declared/>
             <type>p</type>
             <saturdayDel>false</saturdayDel>
             <weight>10</weight>
             <DIM>
               <length/>
               <width/>
               <height/>
             </DIM>
           </package>
       </ship:xmlIN>
     </ship:RateAll_Request_XML>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


Regards,

Thomas.
