Answer 3

The following code block helped me in handling web-service using SOAP request.

-(void)getWebServiceContent {

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://url_value_here"];
    NSString *soapBody = @"soap_body_here";

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [request setHTTPBody:[soapBody dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; //GET
    [request addValue:@"Value_to_be_added" forHTTPHeaderField:@"SOAPAction"];
    [request addValue:@"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

    AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
    [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation,id responseObject{

        NSLog(@"Success : Content : %@",[operation responseString]);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation,NSError *error) {

        NSLog(@"Failed");
    })];

    [operation start];
}
