  • 0

I am trying to consume a web service on an Apache/PHP server for which I only have the following example request as documentation.

POST /server/service.php HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com ContentType: text/xml ContentLength: xxx <?xml version=\'1.0\'?> <command>     <parameters /> </command>

Every time I try to consume the service I get a HTTP 400 error. I have contacted the vendor of the software and they replied there is no problem with the server and attached a successful reply.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date:  Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch7 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.0-8+etch7 Content-Length: 205 Connection: close Content-Type: text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1  <?xml version=\'1.0\'?> <reply>       <reply stuff /> </reply>

I have no idea what might be causing the HTTP 400 (Bad Request) response on my side. My best guess could either be an encoding problem of some sort or some incompatibility on the protocol side (or of course, bad programming).

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  1. Consider using Fiddler to see exactly what your code is sending as the request (and consider sending the request to a service on your own box for testing).
