Is there any New-WebServiceProxy alternative?

Question

I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service at PowerShell 6. I used to do this task with the New-WebServiceProxy command on early versions but no longer exists on PowerShell 6. Is there any similar command?

PowerShell Core is not feature complete as Windows PowerShell is. What is your reason for using v6? — Maximilian Burszley, Jul 25 '18 at 16:40

I'm using currently PowerShell 7 and the lack of New-WebServiceProxy affect me in several Scripts that was running with this CmdLet as expected in PS 5.1.

As 'danno' answered before, Invoke-WebRequest is the natural option in Core editions.

Googling I found two sites with examples to implement a workaround for SOAP Web Services:

https://www.itprotoday.com/powershell/getting-started-soap-based-web-services-and-powershell

... and ...

https://www.powershellbros.com/send-soap-message-powershell/

Maybe someone says it that this is go back, but really works!

A combination of ConvertTo-XML with Invoke-WebRequest should be able to get you where you need to be, both of which are supported in PowerShell 6.

It's unlikely that ConvertTo-Xml would be useful. – brianary May 19 '20 at 16:20
