Hi Guys,

When I try to call a web service from an application, I get the following error message.

Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'.

Here's the web service settings of my web.config.
<add key="wsCCRequest.CCRequest" value="http://cr-sit.ba.com/CCRequestService/CCRequest.asmx"/>

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Looks like it's not really a web service, in MS terminology.

MS defines a web service as one that takes a SOAP request and returns a SOAP response.

But the more general definition *could* be "any web-based URL that accepts a request, possibly with arguments, and return a response." In which case, yes, a simple text response (HTML or maybe not, maybe just pure text) would qualify. But if you have *that* kind of web service, then the automatic web service handling that VS and .NET give you don't work.

You have a usable URL of the service you are trying to use??

Yes this is a working service.

Only thing that changed was a new web site was created on the same webserver after which I started getting these problems.

I also tried <add key="wsCCRequest.CCRequest" value="http://localhost.ba.com/CCRequestService/CCRequest.asmx"/> but that also gave me an error.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Ahh...sorry...was misled.

No, I have no idea why just adding another site on same server would affect the original site.

Sorry.
