Recently, I had some issues with the service calls failing, but I was not receiving suitably descriptive errors The test url is: https://tpvs2.hmrc.gov.uk/ws/ncts/service The bad message I am using to test is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ncts="http://webservices.hmrc.gov.uk/ncts" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:hmrc="http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ws/info-header/1"><soapenv:Header><wsse:Security><wsse:UsernameToken><wsse:Username>UnknownUser</wsse:Username><wsse:Password>BadPassword</wsse:Password></wsse:UsernameToken></wsse:Security><hmrc:Header><hmrc:VendorDetails><hmrc:Vendorname>Impatex Computer Systems Limited</hmrc:Vendorname><hmrc:VendorURI>http://www.impatex.com</hmrc:VendorURI><hmrc:VendorID>0945</hmrc:VendorID><hmrc:VendorProduct>ICE - Integrated Customs For Europe</hmrc:VendorProduct><hmrc:VendorProductVersion>1.0.0</hmrc:VendorProductVersion></hmrc:VendorDetails></hmrc:Header></soapenv:Header><soapenv:Body><ncts:getMessages><ncts:lastRetrieved>100</ncts:lastRetrieved><ncts:maxResponses>20</ncts:maxResponses></ncts:getMessages></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> The responses to this message are: SOAPRunXML returns true ErrorOccurred still false SOAPGetResult(SOAPXMLResult) returns "<" (yeah - a single angle bracket!)

BUT If I do the same message via Postman.exe (testing tool, free version available), I get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <env:Body> <env:Fault xmlns:fault="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"> <faultcode>fault:FailedAuthentication</faultcode> <faultstring>Authentication Failed: User 'UnknownUser' denied.</faultstring> </env:Fault> </env:Body> </env:Envelope> Which is much more useful - particularly as in this instance the user id that was being used had been 'accidentally' deprecated :). Does anyone have any ideas how I can improve my error handling?
