Question

var oXMLDoc, oXMLHttp, soapRequest, soapResponse;

oXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

oXMLHttp.open("POST", "http://nerdbox/HelloService.svc", false);

// Add HTTP headers
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/IHelloService/SayHello");

// Form the message
soapRequest = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><SayHello xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"><name>Zuhaib</name></SayHello></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>';

WScript.Echo("Request : " + soapRequest);

oXMLHttp.send(soapRequest);
soapResponse = oXMLHttp.responseXML.xml;
WScript.Echo("Respose : " + soapResponse);

Whats wrong with this JScript? why am I getting 400 Bad Request. I read similar threads in stackoverflow .. some say its soap message formatting problem.

This is what the message looks like if I take it from fiddler.

Try changing your action from IHelloService to HelloService.

And let me ask you, why are you doing it the hard way. Just add a webHttpBinding and use JSON.

See a very easy example here.
