SOAP Extensions

[techieTex]

I have a simple SOAP Extension which does nothing but to log the SOAP message
to a file. This works fine when I use the webservice by adding a
webreference and using the class. However my application breaks when I call
the webservice using HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse. I tried setting
HttpWebRequest's contenttype to application/x-www-form-urlencoded and also to
SOAP. Could somebody please tell me where I'm going wrong?

Hello techieTex,
You need to set the headers correctly for the http message for one...
setting SoapAction etc. Also content type should just be text/xml

Hi Dilip
Thanks for the reply. My request properties are like this:
request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "SOAPAction";
request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
request.ContentType = "SOAP";
request.ContentType="text/xml";
In this case I get this error: "The remote server returned an error: (501)
Not Implemented."

Could u please tell me how to set the headers properly.

Hello techieTex,
Request.Method can only be GET or POST

may need to add another header called SoapAction and set the value
