How to add custom header to ASMX web service call using jquery?
- by Mike
I have a web service with the following contract:
POST /Service/service.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: xxx.xxx.xxx
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "xxx.xxx.xxx/Service/Method"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header>
<Request xmlns="xxx.xxx.xxx/Service/">
<transactiontype>string</transactiontype>
<username>string</username>
<password>string</password>
</Request>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<Method xmlns="xxx.xxx.xxx/Service/">
<xml>xml</xml>
</Method>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
And I am trying to call the service using jquery. This is my code:
$.ajax({
url: serverUrl + 'Method',
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
data: { xml: "xml" },
beforeSend: function (req) {
req.setRequestHeader('Header', '<Request xmlns="xxx.xxx.xxx/Service/">'
+'<transactiontype>4</transactiontype>'
+'<agencyName>name</agencyName>'
+'<username>user</username>'
+'<password>pass</password>'
+'</Request>');
},
success: function (data) {
alert(data.text);
},
error: function (request, status, errorThrown) {
alert(status);
}
});
However, the header content is not passed to the web service? How would I go about passing the header credentials to my web service call?
