I am trying to be able to remotely turn off my TV and the following curl call works like a charm:

curl -v -XPOST http://[your_TV's_IP_address]/sony/IRCC -d '<?xml version="1.0"?><s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><s:Body><u:X_SendIRCC xmlns:u="urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1"><IRCCCode>AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAVAw==</IRCCCode></u:X_SendIRCC></s:Body></s:Envelope>' -H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8' -H 'SOAPACTION: "urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC"' -H 'X-Auth-PSK: [your_PSK]'

However, I can't port this into a python.requests.post call as I always get an

Error 500

in return.
I must be doing something wrong in passing the XML data or the headers to requests.

Here is my python code:

import requests

TurnOnOffcommandData = "<?xml version='1.0'?><s:Envelope xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' s:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'><s:Body><u:X_SendIRCC xmlns:u='urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1'><IRCCCode>AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAVAw==</IRCCCode></u:X_SendIRCC></s:Body></s:Envelope>"
TurnOnOffcommandHeaders = {'Content-Type': 'text/xml; charset=UTF-8', 'SOAPACTION': 'urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC', 'X-Auth-PSK': 'PASSWORD'}
requests.post('http://XX.XX.XX.XX/sony/IRCC', headers=TurnOnOffcommandHeaders, data=TurnOnOffcommandData)

Thank you for any help on this issue.

    Your python code, please? It would be needed to help pinpoint what you're doing wrong. – A. Rose Feb 02 '19 at 23:10
  • @A.Rose thank you for your answer! I added my code in my initial question above. – Laurent de Barry Feb 06 '19 at 11:34
  • I don't have a TV that does this, so I can't help debug - and there's nothing obviously wrong with your code. HTTP 500 is an internal server error.

Assume you've solved this by now but it looks like you've missed the quotes in the SOAPACTION header.

It should be: 'SOAPACTION': '"urn:schemas-sony-com:service:IRCC:1#X_SendIRCC"'
