I have imported an online service which is WSDL.

When calling the service methods I get the following exception:

System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException: The content type text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first 617 bytes of the response were < ?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>< SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-…

I believe this means that my client expects the service to return data in UTF-8 encoding, while the service returns it in ISO-8859-1. Is there a way for me to alter the client’s expected content type to match the one of the service?

    If your client is .net you can set it as shown here

    This is how you would do it in code

    wsHttpBinding.TextEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

    let me see if I can find an example of setting it in the config file directly.

    Ah here it is in the question is a sample
