I'm sending some XML to PeopleSoft using the HTTPRequest node. Plain XML/RPC. It's adding a blank SOAPAction header (which is explained in the docs). Unfortunately this causes PeopleSoft to think that the whole message is SOAP.
Is there a good reason for this header to be automatically added? It seems strange and I can't think of any good reason for it to be there.
I realise that I can disable the automatic generation of headers, but this question is why is it there in the first place?
Thanks,
Damian. |

This is what SOAP 1.1 specification says,
| Quote: |
The SOAPAction HTTP request header field can be used to indicate the intent of the SOAP HTTP request. The value is a URI identifying the intent. SOAP places no restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI or that it is resolvable. An HTTP client MUST use this header field when issuing a SOAP HTTP Request.
The presence and content of the SOAPAction header field can be used by servers such as firewalls to appropriately filter SOAP request messages in HTTP. The header field value of empty string ("") means that the intent of the SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI. No value means that there is no indication of the intent of the message.

Thanks but this doesn't answer my question. An HTTP request doesn't need to have anything to do with SOAP. |
