.NET (C#) and RAW Soap Transactions

Recently I've been experiencing a nightmare with .NET (C#) and SOAP Transmissions. I've got to consume a webs开发者_JAVA技巧ervice (which was supposed to be an easy task) but it become terrible and nothing seem to works.

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://api.myapi.com/apis/services/theapi");

webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
webRequest.Timeout = 1000 * 30;
webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction: \"\"");
webRequest.Accept = "text/xml";

WebResponse webResponse = null;

try
{
    webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();

    Stream Stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream();
    string SoapEnvelope = "<soap:Envelope>...SOAP CODE ...</soap:Envelope>";
    StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

    XmlDocument SoapEnvelopeXML = new XmlDocument();
    SoapEnvelopeXML.LoadXml(SoapEnvelope);

    SoapEnvelopeXML.Save(Stream);

    string result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
    return result;
}

When I try to sniff the packages by using Wireshark, that's what I get:

---- CLIENT INPUT ------
POST /apis/services/theapi HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
SOAPAction: ""
Accept: text/xml
Host: api.myapi.com

Connection: Keep-Alive

---- SERVER ANSWER ------

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.0.5.GA (build: CVSTag=Branch_4_0 date=200610162339)/Tomcat-5.5

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Error reading XMLStreamReader.</faultstring></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

As expected, since I haven't posted a Soap Request (no XML in the request), I receive a SOAP Fault and ERROR 500.

Any ideas?

I've got to somehow do this manually. I've tried to use even TCPClient (to deal with it in a lower level), but all my attempts were frustrated.


You should use the VS Add Service Reference wizard to load the service into your project. The Add Service Reference generates classes to work with the api automatically at a much higher level, from the url of the service API endpoint. It will look something like this:

MyApiClient client = new MyApiClient();
MyApiResult result;

try {
    client.Open();
    result = client.CallMethod(param1, param2, ...);
    client.Close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
    // do something with FaultException or API error
}

// do something with the result returned, if needed

If you've done it correct, you shouldn't have to deal with HttpWebRequest, explicit URL's, or hand-typing out any SOAP XML at all!!
