Process SOAP request from powershell - powershell

Question

I try to utilise the code example. But I am unsuscessful. Can any one pick up an error? (I know about New-WebServiceProxy cmdlet.)
function Execute-SOAPRequest
(
[Xml] $SOAPRequest,
[String] $URL
)
{
write-host “Sending SOAP Request To Server: $URL”
$soapWebRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($URL)
$soapWebRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction" ,"http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?WSDL/GetWeather")
$soapWebRequest.ContentType = 'text/xml;charset="utf-8"'
$soapWebRequest.Accept = “text/xml”
$soapWebRequest.Method = “POST”
write-host “Initiating Send.”
$requestStream = $soapWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
$SOAPRequest.Save($requestStream)
$requestStream.Close()
write-host “Send Complete, Waiting For Response.”
$resp = $soapWebRequest.GetResponse()
$responseStream = $resp.GetResponseStream()
$soapReader = [System.IO.StreamReader]($responseStream)
$ReturnXml = [Xml] $soapReader.ReadToEnd()
$responseStream.Close()
write-host “Response Received.”
return $ReturnXml
}
function Execute-SOAPRequestFromFile
(
[String] $SOAPRequestFile,
[String] $URL
)
{
write-host “Reading and converting file to XmlDocument: $SOAPRequestFile”
$SOAPRequest = [Xml](Get-Content $SOAPRequestFile)
return $(Execute-SOAPRequest $SOAPRequest $URL)
}
$x = Execute-SOAPRequestFromFile -SOAPRequestFile soap-W.txt -URL "http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?WSDL"
The file soap-W.txt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/" xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://www.webserviceX.NET" xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tm="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<tns:GetWeather xmlns:tns="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
<tns:CityName>Tampa</tns:CityName>
<tns:CountryName>United States</tns:CountryName>
</tns:GetWeather>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Server return error 500. Query via New-WebServiceProxy is successfull.

You should try New-WebServiceProxy CmdLet.
$svc = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?WSDL"
$svc.GetWeather("Aurillac", "France")
