Hi,

You can manually add the Content-Type header and it will override the generated one. Go into the "Headers" tab for the request and add a new header. Name it "Content-Type" (without the quotes) and set the value to "text/xml; charset=utf-8" (again, no quotes). Good luck!

    Thank you for this help, setting the header in the request.  If the response is coming back in IBM037, how do I set this header?

      Question does not seem to be clear. Can you elaborate what you mean?

      When I try to build a project in SoapUI and the input WSDL has this tag at the top –

      “<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM037"?>” -  it will not load.

       

      So I tried removing the encoding or trying utf-8:

      “<?xml version="1.0"?>”  or “<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>”  

       

      The SoapUI project loads, the request is sent, but I get this error:

       “Error getting response;javax.net.ssl.SSLException:Unrecognized SSL message,plaintext connection?” .  

       

      This makes sense, the end-point software is returning a response encoded IBM037 and I am expecting text.

       

      I don't know how to load the WSDL.

    Hello, quoting:

    -> That's fine for one test, but what if you want to do this for all your requests by default  ?

     

    I guess I can do that with groovy scripts, but is there an integrated way?
