HTTPrequest does not work for SOAP (XML)

Post by Enricoys » Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:05 am

I am trying to send a SOAP (XML) file to a webservice. I expected that HTTPrequest would do this job, however I can't get it working. As a work around I am now using the CURL command shown below which works fine. What should I do different to make HTTPrequest work?

Code: Select all

Let>XMLfile=C:\XML\testfile.xml
Let>XMLoutputfile=C:\XML\testoutput.xml
Let>curl="c:\Windows\System32\curl.exe"
let>curlheader=-H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" -H "SOAPAction:"
Let>endpoint=https://<myURLendpoint>
Let>CURLcmd="%curl%  %curlheader%  -d @"%XMLfile%"  -X POST  %endpoint%  -o "%XMLoutputfile%"  -s -i"
Run>cmd.exe /c %CURLcmd%
I have tried the following HTTPrequest, however it returns error:
500 HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Code: Select all

Let>HTTP_POSTFILES=upload1=C:\XML\testfile.xml
Let>HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS=Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Let>endpoint=https://<myURLendpoint>
Let>HTTP_SSL=1
HTTPRequest>%Endpoint%,,POST,,HTMLResponse
I also tried to change the HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS without effect in:
Let>HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS=Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8; SOAPAction:
Furthermore I tried Let>HTTP_SSL=11 and Let>HTTP_SSL=12 without positive effect.

Hi,

HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS needs the list CRLF delimited. So try this:

Let>HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS=Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8%CRLF%SOAPAction:

That should mirror the headers you're sending via Curl, in case that is the issue.

If that doesn't work I'd really need to be able to try it. If you're able to share the info/url privately for us to try feel free to email to support.

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for this quick reply. Unfortunately your remark was not the solution. Still the same error.
I will send a email to support.
