The error usually means that the beginning of the XML is somehow corrupt/malformed.
From your code, it looks like you are appending the Content-Length header - with no actual content length value or terminating carriage-return/life-feed - and then immediately starting in with the XML. This probably looks like a badly malformed Content-Length header followed by a body containing nothing.
I think you need to do something like:
- Create/concatenate the XML payload in a string variable
- Calculate the XML variable's length
- In a new variable start building/concatenating the headers, including Content-Length header, with the value calculated above, and terminating CR/LF
- Append an intervening CR/LF (to terminate the header part of the packet)
- Append the XML

HI All, I'm trying to update users Pin number with a .Net C# webpage.
I have pasted the code and error below. I ended up using soap although I noticed there is a risservice.wsdl that should have methods to update pins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks David, I took your suggestions and got the following response:
This looks like a successful response yes? I am working with the our engireers to see if the pin was in fact updated...
- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header />
- <SOAP-ENV:Body>

</axl:updateUserResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Response looks right...the return value should be the primary key (uuid) of the effected device.
