Thank you for answering.

I've used a sniffer to see what actually goes over the line. I've uses
different clients to test it. Using Perl I managed to reproduce the
problem.
When I use Perl (Soap::Lite) I can set the encoding. When I set the
encoding to ISO-8859-1 the client generates an http request with in
it's request-header this ISO encoding. The acual message (the soap-
envelope) uses ISO-encoding (I can see the codes using the sniffer).
This client generates no error. When I set the encoding to utf-8 the
http header states utf-8. The actual message, though, is encoded in
ISO. This version gives the soap-error.

When I use a javascript-client, I can set the http-header to ISO and
to utf-8. Both versions, however, code their content in uft-8!?!
Neither one of these clients gives an error. It seems that the
receiving soap-server knows which encoding is used, but it doesn't
look at the request-header. How can the server tell which encoding is
used?

Thanks.
