Hi,

The current "text/plain" content type is most probably not correct. Try setting the body content type to either "text/xml" "or application/xml"

xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" means it is a SOAP 1.1 message so @david_r is correct, the Content-Type should be text/xml.

You may need to enter it manually in the Request/Body/Content Type because "XML (application/xml)" may or may not work.

Also, the Heades is empty. In SOAP 1.1 you need to set the method name that you want to call in header called SOAPAction. Depending on the web service it may be a simple method name (eg.: "closeCases") or something longer (eg: "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/CopyIntoItems")

There are browser extensions (eg: Wizdler in Chrome) or online tools (eg: WDSL Analyzer ) to find out the more details.
