Whitespaces in SOAP response

[smies]

I am having problems with the response of a SOAP request. The returned XML document from AjxRpc.invoke contains whitespaces. One of the problems of this is that the _check method of the AjxSoapDoc doesn't work anymore. The results of the xmlToJs is also incorrect because it generates object properties without labels. This is really a big problem if I want to receive XML instead of JSON.

Can there something be done about it?

Is this the SOAP from our server? In general we use JSON since it's so much faster to parse and work with in Javascript. If you need our help you might want to post the XML request/response so it's easier to help.

No, I use my own server. I am planning to use JSON but I need to rewrite parts of the current SOAP service that I use (Ruby On Rails). Till then I wanted to use xml as response. But the whitespaces in the response wreak havoc in my test code.

This is a response:
