Re: How to specify SOAPAction with HTTPAPI?

Hi Art,

You can't pass the SoapAction in the "content type" parameter like that. 
  There is a separate parameter to http_url_post_xml() explicitly for 
the SoapAction...  please use that instead.

rc =http_url_post_xml('http://UPSTEST:8080/wcfShip'
:%addr(postData) +2
:%len(postData)
:%paddr(StartOfElement)
:%paddr(EndOfElement)
:*NULL
:HTTP_TIMEOUT
:HTTP_USERAGENT
:'text/xml'
:'http://xxx.Wcf/IwcfShip/Ratexxxxx";'
);
I don't know why you were passing 'rpg' for the user agent, but 
typically you use the default one unless you need to trick an 
application into thinking that you are a web browser. (Back in the day 
it was often necessary to masquerade as Internet Explorer.  I don't 
think anyone ever does that anymore.)

I would suggest updating to use the http_req() procedure instead of the 
old-fashioned post_xml if possible.

And I would also look into eliminating the use of SOAP, which is an 
outdated technology not many are using for new projects anymore, and 
consider using REST instead.
