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

[Gert Driesen]

Atsushi,

A line further down in that spec you'll find this:

"The header field value of empty string ("") means that the intent of the
SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI."

It is also documented in the WS-I Basic Profile:
http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html#SOAPAction_HTTP_Header

An empty string for SOAP Action is actually used quite a lot (and not only
in .NET).

Arina, you'll still need to provide a small repro (and a unit test would be
even better).

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.
