Body
I need to consume web services on this .NET site: <a href="https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/ItfResidentData.asmx" rel="nofollow">https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/ItfResidentData.asmx</a> For preliminary consumption I use either Fiddler or curl. Both give the same error: <pre><code><faultstring>Unable to handle request without a valid action parameter. Please supply a valid soap action.</faultstring> </code></pre> My curl command: curl -d @GetVersionNumber.xml <a href="https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/ItfResidentData.asmx" rel="nofollow">https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/ItfResidentData.asmx</a> Please see file GetVersionNumber.xml below: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <GetVersionNumber xmlns="http://tempuri.org/YSI.Interfaces.WebServices/ItfResidentData" /> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> </code></pre> Adding SOAP-ENV:Header as element in soap:Envelope does not help <pre><code><SOAP-ENV:Header Content-Type="text/xml" Host="www.iyardiasp.com" SOAPAction="http://tempuri.org/YSI.Interfaces.WebServices/ItfResidentData/GetVersionNumber"/> </code></pre> Adding the Soap Action as a header does not help. In this case the curl command is: curl -H "SOAPAction: <a href="http://tempuri.org/YSI.Interfaces.WebServices/ItfResidentData/GetVersionNumber" rel="nofollow">http://tempuri.org/YSI.Interfaces.WebServices/ItfResidentData/GetVersionNumber</a>" -d @GetVersionNumber.xml "<a href="https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/itfapplicantscreening.asmx" rel="nofollow">https://www.iyardiasp.com/8223third_17/webservices/itfapplicantscreening.asmx</a>" And the response is: <pre><code><faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://tempuri.org/YSI.Interfaces.WebServices/ItfResidentData/GetVersionNumber.</faultstring> </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
