Hello,

 

If we add control charcters (&#x2) in our .xml file while importing to the soapui and testing we are getting an error response as our request is not accepting these chars.

Hi ravi_ava,

Can you confirm what your requirements state the allowed charset on your submissions is? Those escape sequences work for and endpoint expecting utf-8.

I'll have another look at the other equivalent escapr sequences for these control characters and get back to you with a subsequent post.

Cheers

Rich

    Hi ravi_ava 

     

    did you check the requirements of the allowed charset on your requests - just to confirm?  We need to know absolutely what the supported charset that your endpoint is expecting - otherwise you'll never sort this.  Its a quick fix once we know - but we need this info fella

     

    For  your submissions to your endpoint - do you get a payload for a successful submission?  if so - can you confirm what the Content-Type header in the response is please?

     

    I'm guessing application/json - but things can get complicated of it's odata json etc.(e.g. application/json; odata.metadata=minimal;)

     

    cheers,
