And here is my Code:

            SoapObject request= new SoapObject(Constants.NAMESPACE, Constants.METHOD_NAME);

            SoapObject mda = new SoapObject("","arg0");

            PropertyInfo pi = new PropertyInfo();
            pi.setName("mediaGuid");
            pi.setValue("27499");
            pi.setType(String.class);
            mda.addProperty(pi);

            PropertyInfo pi_hash = new PropertyInfo();
            pi_hash.setName("mediaHash");
            pi_hash.setValue("");
            pi_hash.setType(String.class);

            mda.addProperty(pi_hash);

            request.addSoapObject(mda);

            SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                    SoapEnvelope.VER11);
            envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
            envelope.addMapping(Constants.NAMESPACE, "getMediaDetails", getMediaDetails.class);

            try {
                HttpTransportSE httpTransportSE = new HttpTransportSE(Constants.DEFAULT_SERVER);
                httpTransportSE.debug = true;

                List<HeaderProperty> headerList = new ArrayList<HeaderProperty>();
                headerList.add(new HeaderProperty("Authorization", "Basic "
                        + org.kobjects.base64.Base64.encode("xxxxxxxx"
                                .getBytes())));

                httpTransportSE.call(Constants.SOAP_ACTION, envelope, headerList);

                SoapObject objectResult = (SoapObject) envelope.getResponse();

I hope u can help me .. im tryin to fix that error for days

I solved the problem. There was a problem with the HTTPConnection unfortunatley it is not so easy to find it without the ksoap2 sources. I checked out the code and found out that ksoap2 use the normal URL and HTTPConnection from Java. I built a simple example to connect to my URL and noticed that it was not possible to connect.

Notice: first check the simple things before you start to think to complex 🙂
