Blank SoapAction

[adamklaff]

I'm writing a server to receive messages from Salesforce, and no SoapAction is passed through. I am not able to modify the headers on Salesforce's end, so is it possible to have Sinatra-Soap work for a nil or default action?

Hello @adamklaff
What you mean by "no SoapAction", there are no header like this or it exists but empty?
I also would like to ask, why are you using SOAP, when Salesforce have REST API?
And answering your question, its not possible to have sinatra-soap work with no SOAPAction, because it must exist according to standart http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383528, as I understand it correctly. Hope it helps you.

Thanks. The headers Salesforce is sending are pasted below, SOAPAction is nil:

Host: requestb.in
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: max-age=259200
Connect-Time: 0
X-Request-Id: 6b07fea9-e261-431b-8499-568f99900de4
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Total-Route-Time: 0
Connection: close
Content-Length: 1174
Via: 1.1 proxy-was.net.salesforce.com (squid), 1.1 vegur
Soapaction: ""

I'm looking into the REST API but I'd like to avoid writing custom Apex code to send webhooks outside of Salesforce if possible. Will take a closer look.

Thanks for the help!
