#45 HttpSendRequestA with SOAPAction header

[Anonymous]

HttpSendRequestA (SOAPWinInetTransport.cpp)
returns false when called with the SOAPAction header
on my system. Removing the SOAPAction header fixed
the problem. I am using the May 2002 SDK.

If the SOAP action is not explicity named when you create
the SOAPMethod object then the http header is set to
nothing (in SOAPWinInetTransport::Write) i.e.

"SOAPAction:\r\n"

This fails when HttpSendRequestA is called.

You can explicitly set the SOAP action when you create the
SOAPMethod object by either:

1. Declaring the SOAP action when you define the method:
SOAPMethod m (name, namespace, action);
2. Set the action using the SetSoapAction method of the
SOAPMethod class
SOAPMethod m (name, ns);
m.SetSoapAction (action);

To allow empty SOAPActions with the wininet transport, the
line in SOAPWinInetTransport.cpp,
"SOAPAction:\r\n"
should be changed to
"SOAPAction: \"\"\r\n"

The empty double quotes are as used by axis and the MS
Soap Toolkit, and wininet accepts it.
