B4J Question SOAP Error when Passing Authorization Header

[bcampano]

I am trying to make some SOAP API calls and am running into issues with authorization. The API requires you pass a basic authentication header. If I use the following:

Dim job1 As HttpJob

Dim SoapXML  As String= $"<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:p="http://soap_api_uri"
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
    <p:registerConnection>
    <p:appname>TestApp</p:appname>
    </p:registerConnection>
    </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>"$
job1.Initialize("SOAP_API", Me)
job1.poststring ("http://soap_endpoint_address", SoapXML)
job1.GetRequest.SetContentType("text/xml")

job1.Username = usernamestring
job1.Password = passwordstring

wait for (job1) jobdone(job1 As HttpJob)   
If job1.Success Then
    Log(job1.GetString)
Else
    Log(job1.ErrorMessage )
End If

If I comment out the .username and .password properties the webservice returns a properly formatted XML response indicating the request must include authentication in the message header as expected.

However, when I include the two lines to set the .username and .password properties then I get the following error message:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<S:Body>
<ns0:Fault xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<faultcode>ns0:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>
Couldn't create SOAP message due to exception: XML reader error: 
com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Unexpected '&lt;' character 
in element (missing closing '>'?) at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [3,2]
</faultstring>
</ns0:Fault>
</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

I am actually trying to port a small VB.net application to B4J. In VB I used the following code to successfully pass the authorization headers to the same SOAP API:

Dim mySOAPService As New WS_SOAP()

Dim myCredentials As New System.Net.CredentialCache()
Dim netCred As New NetworkCredential(username, password)
myCredentials.Add(New Uri(mySOAPService.Url), "Basic", netCred)
mySOAPService.Credentials = myCredentials

Any idea what i'm doing wrong here???

Your <soapenv:Envelope is missing a >

    xmlns:p="http://soap_api_uri">

Thanks for the find! It didn't solve the issue entirely but it did make me take another good look at the SOAPXML string. After fixing the ">" you noted as missing, I also noticed a stray:

<soapenv:Header/>

Once I removed that I was good to go! Thanks for taking the time to put an extra set of eyes on a stupid little mistake...
