Question

I am new to SOAP and xml. I read a number of tutorials but nothing seems to be clear enough.

I am abit confused, Just how does one send an SOAP request? The way I have t

Answer 1

Opening this document in browser wouldn't send a request. You have several options:

• write a little script in any familiar language, script should connect to specified server and send a POST request with a body as mentioned in your message
• use some of existing programs to do that for you

If you're inexperienced I would definitely recommend second option. My personal favourite is SoapUI, see here.
