Re: Getting unrecognized character on webservice response
I was a about to post a reply stating that I was having the exact same problem, but we have solved our problem, so perhaps this is solution for you also. My situation was the same: working on machine 1 (xml response), not working on machine 2 (strange characters in response). In this case the web service being called was provided by Siebel 8.1 (although that may not be important). After checking the HTTP headers in the "raw" tab of the XML request and response, I noticed the following in the header of the non-working request. Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate and also this in the HTTP header of the response content-encoding: deflate The request header and response header for the working request did not have these lines. You can turn this off (in SOAP-UI 3.0.1) by going to HTTP Settings in the Preferences dialog (File >Preferences > HTTP Settings tab) and turning off "Accept compressed responses from host". Hope this helps3.4KViews3likes1Comment
