.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / February 2005SoapHttpTransport, HttpWebRequest, custom Http headers and I am sad.
Hi guys, SoapHttpTransport imports the various settings (except custom headers) from the user specified HttpWebRequest using SoapHttpChannelOptions. I know I am asking for something which goes against in the spirit of making web services independent of underlying transport. For eg WS-Addressing wants to get rid of SOAPAction http header as information conveyed in SOAP header is best but truth is there are (will be) web services (you can call them bad design/approach) which expect some custom http headers and as a client app to these web services I am in trouble when I want to use WSE. Again, I do support frameworks not letting developers try to use some functionality which break the spirit of technology but some times you do not have choices. So, if SoapHttpChannelOptions has possibility to specify the custom http headers it would solve some of the issues that webservices and their clients would face (due to design decisions and legacy). Right now I do not have an option but to redo http channels in WSE just to add the support of user specified custom http headers. If any of you gurus of WSE and webservices can comment it would be great. John ? Regards & thanks Kapil  SignatureKapil Sachdeva http://www.dotnetcard.com/blogs/ksachdeva Kapil, I'm guessing here... You could override the Microsoft.Web.Services2.WebServicesClientProtocol.GetWebRequest method to add custom HTTP headers. Conversely, you could override the Microsoft.Web.Services2.WebServicesClientProtocol.GetWebResponse to process custom HTTP headers. John > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Regards & thanks > Kapil I am using SoapClient !!. But using WebServiceClientProtcol may be the better approach than redoing http channel. I just need to see if I can have some generic client working with any endpoint and SoapAction using WebServiceClientProtocol class. [I do not compile the stubs/proxy for webservices I need to invoke, I just invoke them by passing SoapAction and endpoint to sub class of SoapClient class of WSE] [not played with asmx and their clients much, love WSE messaging framework as can run stuff using TCP]. sincerely appreciate your answer and help.
