Custom SOAP header

0

I need to add the information as in the attached pisture. The screenshot is taken from SoapUI, which connects to the web service while webcon does not. Any tips or suggestions much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone? This is an API to the Statistical Office database and it offers soap only. No other choice.
I would highly appreciate your support.

Hi Wojtek,

since the SOAP Action does not support setting custom headers. It's not possible with the default actions. I see only two alternatives:

1. Create a custom SDK action
This could be a specialized action for the web service where you set the header value as a config parameter. In addition you could use it to process the retrieved result so that you can easier use it in WEBCON BPS.
2. Use an intermediate "server" /"proxy" which modifies your request.
If may find a "forward proxy" with which you could modify your request. Instead of calling the web service directly, you would connect to the proxy, which adds the header and then forwards it to the real web service.
If the web service is only using http, you can nginx, if it's https so, you need to find something else or create your own nginx build. If you want to go down this road, you will find a little head at the last part of this post:

Hi Daniel,

many thanks for clear and direct answer. I hoped it would be possible to do it via some configuraton file but unfrtunately there is no simple solution.
Recomendation no.2 seems to be easier to implement but I'rather prefer more straightforward approach which for me is no.1
Thanks again for clarification and presenting multiple workarounds.
