Hi,

I have a problem: when i receive the response from the webservice, i receive a xml file, but it contains a header (soap header).
When I use the NSXMLParser, is recognizes 4 elements (soap header) and the other elements (the ones i'm interested in), it recognizes as string.
How can i not receive the soap header?

thanks

	NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"*****.xml", [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]];
	NSString *nakedRequest = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
	NSString *soapMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:nakedRequest,
							 @"user",	
							 @"pass",							
							 @"id",							
							 returnType,							
							 origin,								
							 destination,							
							 originDateString,							
							 destinationDateString,						
							 @"Timetable",							
							 @"1",									
							 @"0"									
							 ];
	
	NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://services.*****.com/*****/*****.asmx"];
	NSString *messageLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [soapMessage length]];
	NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];	
	[theRequest addValue:@"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
	[theRequest addValue:@"http://www.*****.com/*****:*****" forHTTPHeaderField:@"SOAPAction"];	
	[theRequest addValue:messageLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
	[theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
	[theRequest setHTTPBody:[soapMessage dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
	theConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
	if (theConnection) {
		soapResponseData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
	}

Works like a charm.
You could even opt to start parsing while the response is still loading.
