ok, i think we're getting somewhere, this request is different from
the one that works in more than just the SOAP / SOAP-ENV prefix. The
one that works specifies the standard SOAP encoding,=20
SOAP:encodingStyle=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

whilst the one that's failing is using an apache specific encoding
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=3D"http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml"

The server is failing because it doesn't know how to handle this
encoding style. you need to change your request to specify the
standard encoding style.

Microsoft now have 2 SOAP toolkits, the first one they released has a
core object called ROPE (Remote object proxy engine), whilst the new
toolkit is called the SOAP SDK. I usually call the first toolkit the
ROPE toolkit so that it's hopefully clear which one is being
referenced (of course there's also all the SOAP stuff in the .NET beta
as well)
