[erlang-questions] soap and utf8 problem

[Willem de Jong]

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you are using the library to implement a SOAP
client.

The response that you are quoting is the translation of a SOAP fault.
Apparently the server is not accepting your request. Probably because
something went wrong with the encoding, as you are suggesting.

Could you give some additional information on how you are calling the
service from within your Elixir application? And perhaps show the message
that is sent to the server (as it is sent over the wire)?

Regards,
Willem
