Soap with attachment

[frans]

Currently we are trying to connect with a new partner for our customer.
According to their specification, they require us to send them “Soap with an attachment”. The exact mechanism for this is not clear, the content for the attachment is XML.
I’ve played around with the Soap adapter and Mime attachments, as described in the reference guide.
One thing I noticed, is that I can tell the Soap adapter to encode the attachment in text/xml, but the adapter stubbornly encodes the soap-envelop in base64.
Is there a way to force text/xml encoding for the soap envelop?

The MIME part for the SOAP part is automatically created from the object you give to the SOAP adapter and this SOAP part should always be text/xml.

If I enable Debug log level of my service I will get this:

Can you post your generated SOAP message?

If you send us a small example model we could verify it.

I can reproduce the issue. The interesting part of your log file is:

 [2015-09-22 09:17:09 +0200][0000000005][Debug][External][CURL][SendHeader][POST /... HTTP/1.1

 PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0idXRmLTgiPz4KPGVudjpFbnZlbG9wZSB4bWxu
 ...

but two headers should have these values

 Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset="utf-8"
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

and the text should be not base64 encoded.

You can try a workaround and change the tag soapVersion to 1.1 instead of 1.2 on the <<SOAPAlias>>. In this case the SOAP
part encoding is correct. But be aware that the Content-Type will change to text/xml.

We will inform you when a fix is available.
