Re: HTTPAPI - Problem consuming WCF web service - HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

I'm not sure what WCF is, or why it'd matter. The '400 Bad Request' 
implies that something you're sending is wrong.  (Unfortunately, it's 
not more specific about _what_ is wrong.. it just says something is bad 
in the request.)

Please don't expect me to be familiar with what your web service 
requires!  Every web service is different!

There's nothing obvious in your RPG code.  Keep in mind that what you 
need to code will vary dramatically depending on what your web service 
requires...   so nothing leaps out at me as "proper" or "improper"

Your "SVC" file appears to be an excerpt from a WSDL file.  (I had not 
heard the term "SVC" before, so it's quite a relief to find out that 
it's just a WSDL.)

Unfortunately, yours is only an excerpt, and has extra - (dash) 
characters added into it.  My WSDL analyzing tools won't read it... they 
need the whole file, without the extra dash characters added in.

Can you please send the original file?  Add it as an attachment and post 
it to the mailing list?

The WSDL file is the main piece of information you need to troubleshoot 
a "bad request" error, since it's the document that describes what the 
request SHOULD be.
