Re: Very Strange XML/A Error - Nothing in Google

Are you hand-coding the client request? Probably its missing the SOAPAction 
HTTP header... It should look like:

SOAPAction: "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:Execute"
or
SOAPAction: "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:Discover"

Re: Very Strange XML/A Error - Nothing in Google

Awesome, Akshai!  That was it.  Had it in the Execute request but not the
Discover.  Other XML/A servers didn't require it, but by the "letter of the
law" it should be in there.  Works perfectly now.

You rule!

Have a great new year!
