[SOLVED] After request I get (500) Internal Server Error

[michaelj]

I can't seem to get off first base using c# with soap. My XML message is:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Header>
<context xmlns="urn:zimbra"/>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<AuthRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin"><name>user@domain</name><password>password</password></AuthRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and my code is

AuthToken = getAuthRequest("user@domain", "password");

HttpWebRequest webrequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://domain:7071/service/admin/soap");
webrequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", "\"\"");
webrequest.Method = "POST";
webrequest.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";

XmlDocument requestDoc = new XmlDocument();
requestDoc.LoadXml(AuthToken);

System.IO.Stream str = webrequest.GetRequestStream();

requestDoc.Save(str);
str.Close();

HttpWebResponse webresponse = (HttpWebResponse)webrequest.GetResponse();

==================================================
I've compared this to other examples I've found on the web and can't see where I have gone wrong.

I managed to get it to work by using the admin user but using any other user (even with domain/service/soap) gave the error.
I can't understand this how does the zimbra standalone program log in?

be sure to watch log, if any request goes to zimbra , an entry will be there in the the following log file,

run, this command
tail -f /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

I found that there are two versions of the AuthRequest request. I've just done a few more changes and it is annoying getting the 500 server errors rather than something meaningful.
