Need help with JavaScript SOAP Request

I seem to be having problems with this block of JavaScript, I do not get an error so I am using alert() to try and pinpoint the issue. I get the alert() before this block of code but not after the block of code. m_XML is declared in a block of code above this. (NOTE: This code was written in VBScript and I have been trying to convert it into JavaScript)

m_XML = new XMLHttpRequest()

m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'Content-Type' 'text/xml charset=utf-8';
m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'DataType' 'xml';
m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'SOAPAction' 'urn:getProfileSoap';
m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'Host' '10.1.60.10:8443';
m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'Expect' '100-continue';
m_XML.SetRequestHeader 'Connection' 'Keep-Alive';

m_XML.open('POST', 'https://10.1.60.10:8443/webdialer/services/WebdialerSoapService/', false);

Don't you need parenthesis in your function calls?

m_XML.setRequestHeader('Content-Type' 'text/xml charset=utf-8');
etc
etc

Also might try using lower case "s" when calling setRequestHeader()

I still get the START: setRequestHeader alert but not the END: setRequestHeader alert. I have tried both ' and " in the setRequestHeader.

    m_XML = new XMLHttpRequest();

    alert('START: setRequestHeader');
    
    m_XML = new XMLHttpRequest();

    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml charset=utf-8');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('DataType', 'xml');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'urn:getProfileSoap');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Host', '10.1.60.10:8443');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Expect', '100-continue');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Connection', 'Keep-Alive');

    alert('END: setRequestHeader');

From the page I linked above, you have to 'open' the xmlRequest before you can set the headers.

    alert('START: setRequestHeader');
    
    var m_XML = new XMLHttpRequest();
    m_XML.open("POST","ajax_test.asp",true);

    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml charset=utf-8');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('DataType', 'xml');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'urn:getProfileSoap');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Host', '10.1.60.10:8443');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Expect', '100-continue');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Connection', 'Keep-Alive');

    alert('END: setRequestHeader');

It seems to have problems with the XMLHttpRequest, is there another method JavaScript could use?

jb1dev

You need to call open() on the request before setting the headers. Otherwise you get an Invalid State error.

    alert('START: setRequestHeader');

    m_XML = new XMLHttpRequest();

    m_XML.open('POST', 'http://localhost/', false);
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml charset=utf-8');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('DataType', 'xml');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'urn:getProfileSoap');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Host', '10.1.60.10:8443');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Expect', '100-continue');
    m_XML.setRequestHeader('Connection', 'Keep-Alive');

    alert('END: setRequestHeader');
