This section provides a tutorial example showing the Unsupported Media Type 'application/soap' error, when using SOAP::Lite with soapversion('1.2').
Based on the result of my last tutorial, I think I am ready to try my SOAP 1.2 client
application with the real server at xmlme.com:
#- GetSpeech_SOAP_1_2_Test.pl
#- Copyright (c) 2009 by Dr. Herong Yang, herongyang.com

use SOAP::Lite +trace;
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new()
->soapversion('1.2')
->envprefix('soap12')
->default_ns('http://xmlme.com/WebServices')
->on_action( sub {join '/', @_} )
->readable(true)
->proxy('http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx');
my $som = $client->call('GetSpeech',
SOAP::Data->name("Request")
->value("To be, or not to be")
);
Result of GetSpeech_SOAP_1_2_Test.pl:

The result is disappointing, but somewhat expected.
I kind of ignored the issue at the Content-Type header line.
SOAP 1.2 requires to use the "application/soap+xml" media type,
not "application/soap".
