soapui unable to parse responses with XML embedded as strings

We're using SOAPUI to exercise webmethods and validate integration points between our applications and a Siebel system.

This sometimes requires embedding XML requests as strings in some other xml structure, e.g.,


   

   
     
         <br /><getVirtualTN><br />&nbsp; <Account><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; <AccountNumber>30005</AccountNumber><br />&nbsp; </Account><br /></getVirtualTN><br />

   


When we send up requests like this from SOAPUI, the response looks scrambled:

ÑS›oÇ0 ˇW æa≈œEQ£∆m&äFùÛµ¬ …jÀh—˘flØ≠
Kˆv˜˚hÔÆWg¯s"∆ b 2⁄7ÌjÕ4Äzà i–7?∂Ø÷ã9 8õÂheM›]wJœ@X Ü¥QfiÕæy "Í"ƒΩ#ú0ØJö3 UY Hç»L≠?<ºª.óKı“–‚z≠f£˝bæ— Y! S róˇøÀ|(xøοâ#Ø˚é©O@ä÷¿#Fy÷ɉ˙ʉ

And we get this in the logs:

Is there a way for SOAPUI to get past the parsing error and display the response, so that its contents are verifiable?

    Hi!

    hmm... could it be that the response is compressed in some way? Can you send/show the contents of the Raw response view for this response?

    regards!

    Could be, but now I am unable to reproduce. I will post raw response if it recurs.

    Perhaps sending one of the successfully parsed responses I am now seeing could also shed some light?

    OK! The issue is back. As you thought, the response is compressed. Below is the stack trace.

    [Note: screen shot of the raw response view is attached.]

    Hi,

    ok.. hmm.. how have you set the compression related settings in the global http preferences? Can you show both the request and response for this from the http log (at the bottom)?

    regards!

    OK, so the option 'Accept compressed responses from hosts' had been true.

    By setting that option to false, soapui parse the compressed response, no problem.

    Here is what gets logged when that option is set to true:
