HTTP Content-Type in ASP.Net SoapHttpClientProtocol

Question

Hi there,

I have a problem with a Web Service Consumer written in ASP.NET. The error message is:

System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response content type of 'application/xml; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.

The client is based on System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol. We can't change the Content-Type given by the provider, this has to be 'application/xml; charset=utf-8'. Is there any way to change what Content-Type the SoapHttpClientProtocol expects? Unfortunately, we are probably limited to .NET 1.1.

Thanks!

Update: We found a way to change the Content-Type sent by the provider, and this solved the problem. I'd still be curious to know how to change the expectations of the consumer though.

Have the same problem here. And provider-change is not an option. :(
