Unsupported Media Type: "application/soap"
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 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. #- All rights reserved # 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:
POST http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx HTTP/1.1 Accept: text/xml Accept: multipart/* Accept: application/soap Content-Length: 606 Content-Type: application/soap; charset=utf-8 SOAPAction: http://xmlme.com/WebServices/GetSpeech <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap12:Body> <GetSpeech xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices"> <Request xsi:type="xsd:string">To be, or not to be</Request> </GetSpeech> </soap12:Body> </soap12:Envelope> ... HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type Cache-Control: private Connection: close ...
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".
