Soap Monitor

The app is expecting a soap action in the header... I don't see that as an option in the built in soap monitor...     Ideas?     Thanks!

Support is correct here, if I recall. The RFC makes sense though: the SOAP-Action header is actually optional according to the RFC because you can't assume that SOAP will be using HTTP as a transport; it's supposed to be transport agnostic so you can't lock it into HTTP like that.

 

 

Now that being said, I'd really like to be able to set that header via a standard monitor setup. Most HTTP-transport SOAP implementations do in fact expect a soap action header, so this would be handy to have. The alternate is to use an external monitor and set this manually, which seems a little bit like a waste to me...
