Hi,
I am new to webservices.  I am trying to invoke a webservice using my web
browser, but, it does not work.

What am I doing wrong?

I have simple html page, which uses javascript to construct an xml payload,
consisting of a SOAP message below to retrieve a stock quote:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <s0:GetQuote xmlns:s0="http://www.webserviceX.NET/"
xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/"
xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"
xmlns:tm="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <s0:symbol>ibm</s0:symbol>
  </s0:GetQuote>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Then, I send the xml doc to a valid URL location hosting the webservice
application:  http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?WSDL#StockQuoteSoap

This does not work.  What am I doing wrong?

Is it not possible to test a webservice using a browser?  Is there a client
software I can use to test?

Thanks in advance
