Lucee Soap 400 Error; works fine as-is in CF - soap

Question

I am trying to perform a CFHTTP call using Lucee 4.5. Test code on my main workstation is ok (running CF 10), but when copied exactly to a laptop with Lucee if fails with 400 error invalid headers sent. See below
#XML Being Passed

</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I am very new to Lucee and never used Railo so if there are unique charsets or other configuration options that need to be done I'd appreciate the help.
Edit: Further tests have determined that I cannot CFHTTP to any page outside of the laptop itself. All external URLs give a 400 bad header message.
I also added compression=false so that Lucee would not auto send GZip content to the request url.
My working machine's return headers:
Charset: utf-8
Header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:58:03 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 603
Mimetype: text/xml
The failing machine's return headers:
Charset: us-ascii
Header: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:06:18 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 339
Mimetype: text/html
MAY 19 EDIT:
I tested each of the following adjustments separately within the CFHTTP call based on Fabio's response:
I removed the Content-Type header param, or
Changed the body param from 'xml' to 'body'
Neither worked, though my error message has changed to 400 Bad Request. A dump of the CFHTTP call says I am sending invalid XML though independent checks verify it is, in fact, valid. It's failing at the token authentication call.

Answer 1

I had the same problem today. Finally, I got it!
I sniffed network traffic using tcpdump and It looked like our request to IIS7 contained the Content-Type header twice, thus resulting in the ugly
Bad Request - Invalid Header Name error
The problem is in the body parameter:
<cfhttpparam type="xml" name="body" value="#soap#">
Lucee sets the Content-Type header accordingly, to text/xml; utf-8... then sets it once again based on your other parameter:
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Content-Type" value="text/xml; charset=utf-8">
You have two choices:
leave type="xml" to your cfhttpparam tag, and remove the explicit MIME+charset param
change type="xml" to type="body" and manually set all of your headers
