Subject: How to get XMLHTTP to 'POST' valid SOAP request ?

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.3

Reproducible: Always

I have a valid SOAP request, which I have verified by posting it to the same Webservice using the Eclipse SoapUI PlugIn for the Designer Client which successfully completes. My problem arises when I try to use the exact same request in the following code.

Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMdocument")
XMLDoc.async = False
XMLDoc.loadXML(MySoap)
Call xmlhttp.open("POST", serverName, False, username, password)
Call xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")
Call xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("charset", "UTF-8")
Call xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("UserName", userName)
Call xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Password", passWord)
Call xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "CreateRequest")
Call xmlhttp.send(XMLDoc)
strxml = xmlhttp.responseText
msgbox strxml,8,"Debug"

My debug message box gives the following response

"A CXmlApiException was raised in native code:error16:scxmlapi(16) - Invalid or missing file name in XML"

My SOAP request looks like this

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://xxxxxxx.xx.com/xx/x" xmlns:com="http://xxxxxxx.xx.com/xx/x/Common" xmlns:xm="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime">

Please, can anyone help me with the format of my request or code to get this to work ?
