Help Needed in Adding AuthHeader when consuming SOAP webservice

[Born2Achieve]

Hi,

I would like to call SOAP service without proxy class and below the source code i found on the internet.



public static class SOAPHelper
{
/// <summary>
/// Sends a custom sync SOAP request to given URL and receive a request
/// </summary>
/// <param name="url">The WebService endpoint URL</param>
/// <param name="action">The WebService action name</param>
/// <param name="parameters">A dictionary containing the parameters in a key-value fashion</param>
/// <param name="soapAction">The SOAPAction value, as specified in the Web Service's WSDL (or NULL to use the url parameter)</param>
/// <param name="useSOAP12">Set this to TRUE to use the SOAP v1.2 protocol, FALSE to use the SOAP v1.1 (default)</param>
/// <returns>A string containing the raw Web Service response</returns>
public static string SendSOAPRequest(string url, string action, Dictionary<string, string> parameters, string soapAction = null, bool useSOAP12 = false)
{
// Create the SOAP envelope
XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = new XmlDocument();
var xmlStr = (useSOAP12)
? @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance""
xmlns:xsd=""XML Schema""
xmlns:soap12=""http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"">
<soap12:Body>
<{0} xmlns=""{1}"">{2}</{0}>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>"
: @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/""
xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance""
xmlns:xsd=""XML Schema"">
<soap:Body>
<{0} xmlns=""{1}"">{2}</{0}>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>";
string parms = string.Join(string.Empty, parameters.Select(kv => String.Format("<{0}>{1}</{0}>", kv.Key, kv.Value)).ToArray());

var s = String.Format(xmlStr, action, new Uri(url).GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + "/", parms);
soapEnvelopeXml.LoadXml(s);

// Create the web request
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
webRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", soapAction ?? url);
webRequest.ContentType = (useSOAP12) ? "application/soap+xml;charset=\"utf-8\"" : "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";
webRequest.Accept = (useSOAP12) ? "application/soap+xml" : "text/xml";
webRequest.Method = "POST";

// Insert SOAP envelope
using (Stream stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
soapEnvelopeXml.Save(stream);
}

// Send request and retrieve result
string result;
using (WebResponse response = webRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (StreamReader rd = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = rd.ReadToEnd();
}
}
return result;

}
}



Below is my try

Dictionary<string, string> parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
Dictionary<string, string> Headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
Headers.Add("CustomerID", "Test1");
Headers.Add("UserID", "NTest1");
Headers.Add("Password", "Sample");
parameters.Add("id", "1");
string Headerparms = string.Join(string.Empty, Headers.Select(kv => String.Format("<{0}>{1}</{0}>", kv.Key, kv.Value)).ToArray());
string URL = "myxxx.com -&nbspThis website is for sale! -&nbspmyxxx Resources and Information.";
var SoapResponse = SOAPHelper.SendSOAPRequest(URL, "GetResultDetails", parameters, Headerparms);

since my client webservice name is sensitive, i masked that. sorry about that. i am not sure how to add the authentication header in the above code(SOAPHelper) to make it work, below the actual xml i tried in post man which worked. but i am not sure how to make it wok Programmatically with the above c# code. Please help me


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Header>
<h:AuthenticationHeader xmlns:h="myxxx.com -&nbspThis website is for sale! -&nbspmyxxx Resources and Information." xmlns="myxxx.com -&nbspThis website is for sale! -&nbspmyxxx Resources and Information." xmlns:xsd="XML Schema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CustomerID>Test1</CustomerID>
<UserID>NTest1</UserID>
<Password>Sample</Password>
</h:AuthenticationHeader>
</s:Header>
<s:Body xmlns:xsd="XML Schema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<GetResultDetails xmlns="myxxx.com -&nbspThis website is for sale! -&nbspmyxxx Resources and Information.">
<id>1</id>
