SOAP1.1 or SOAP1.2

Question

I have two request messages generated by gSOAP library:

1

POST http://localhost:8998/Service1.svc/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8998
User-Agent: gSOAP/2.8
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8; action="http://tempuri.org/IService1/GetData"
Content-Length: 536
Connection: close
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/IService1/GetData"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns4="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WcfService2" xmlns:ns3="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:GetData><ns1:value>55</ns1:value></ns1:GetData></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

2

POST http://localhost:8998/Service1.svc/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8998
User-Agent: gSOAP/2.8
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 538
Connection: close
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/IService1/GetData"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns4="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WcfService2" xmlns:ns3="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:GetData><ns1:value>55</ns1:value></ns1:GetData></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

What kind of messages they are SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2 ?

First message was formated by proxy class that was generated by wsdl2h and soapcpp2 by default. This message request failes. Second message was generated by proxy with changed namespace inside of it:

from

{"SOAP-ENV", "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/", NULL},

to

{"SOAP-ENV", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/",NULL},

And it works fine. Why I need to change namespace to make it work? Why gSOAP tools can't generate correct namespace?

This helpful SO post states that SOAP 1.1 uses this namespace:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

while SOAP 1.2 uses this namespace:

http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope

Your first message appears therefore to be from SOAP 1.2, while your second message appears to be from SOAP 1.1. Since your first message is failing, and the second passes, it would seem that you are using a SOAP 1.1 compliant service.

I made mistake while mixing "from" "to". WSDL added – vico Jul 29 '15 at 10:17
But is it SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2 ? – vico Jul 31 '15 at 07:31
And which attribute defines SOAP version? – vico Jul 31 '15 at 08:05
From what I can tell, the version is implicit in the namespace chosen for the envelope. – Tim Biegeleisen Jul 31 '15 at 08:11

A lot of times you can know that the version of SOAP request is 1.2, when you see

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8; action="address"

SOAP 1.1 uses Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
