[Mono-dev] [PATCH] WebMethods with SOAPAction = ""

[Atsushi Eno]

The value of SOAP Action is a URI as defined in RFC 2396.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383528

So, an empty string for SOAP Action violates the W3C specification
and is not allowed. Actually no real world user uses "" for SOAP
Action.
