hi,
i have curl command to POST a soap request to web service. I have a file (query.xml) which has all the soap message attached to it I just don't seem to be able to properly post it.

curl command

curl -s -H "Content-Type: text/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8" -H "SOAPAction:" -d @query.xml http://10.130.9.79:7782/services/CBSInterfaceBusinessMgrService

query.xml

<q2:QueryBasicInfoRequestMsg
        xmlns:q0="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/cbs/businessmgr"
        xmlns:q1="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common"
        xmlns:q2="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/cbs/businessmgrmsg">
        <parameter name="enableREST">true</parameter>
        <RequestHeader>
                <q1:CommandId>QueryBasicInfo
                </q1:CommandId>
                <q1:Version>1
                </q1:Version>
                <q1:TransactionId/>
                        <q1:SequenceId>1
                        </q1:SequenceId>
                        <q1:RequestType>Event
                        </q1:RequestType>
                        <q1:SerialNo>03020000003
                        </q1:SerialNo>
        </RequestHeader>
<QueryBasicInfoRequest>
<q0:SubscriberNo>9150000014</q0:SubscriberNo> <q0:QueryType>3</q0:QueryType> </QueryBasicInfoRequest> </q2:QueryBasicInfoRequestMsg>

error coming is

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Since your data contains no - , it must be complaining about your headers.

I usually put my soap requests in a file.... e.g soap-request.txt

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Body />
</soapenv:Envelope>

then use curl like so:

curl -d @soap-request.txt  http://myserver/soapything
