RE: Trying to consume service. Getting Malformed soap message.

[Jason Olson <JOlson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike Thanks so much! Your advice did the trick. What I had incorrect was,

Check the soap action parameter.
Check the content-type parameter.
Make sure they both match exactly what soapUI tells you to use.

It seemed counter intuitive but I had to supply the soap action as /client_smart/api/add_client/add_client 

The add_client had to be in there twice. Once I did this it worked just fine. What really threw me for a loop was the message coming back saying that the soap was malformed. So I spent more time looking at a good soap XML then I should have. Anyway lesson learned.

Thanks!

Three things to check.

Using a variable for the soap message? Are you using a varying type and have you offset the address appropriately?

Check the soap action parameter.
Check the content-type parameter.
Make sure they both match exactly what soapUI tells you to use.

Use the parameters on http_url_post to pass the content-type and soapAction as in EXAMPLE17 (parameters 7 and 8).

Or use http_url_post_xml if you are going to parse the file return data as in EXAMPLE16 specifying content-type in parameter 9 and soapaction in parameter 10.

A debug file makes it easier to see what is happening.
