Swift 2.0 soap request with Alamofire send xml parameters

Question

I want to do a request to this web service example: http://www.holidaywebservice.com//HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx?wsdl

I need to send one parameter "countryCode". I don't know how can i do that with alamofire. And how i get the response to parse the xml result.

This is how i did in postman, but i want to know how do the same in swift.

Thanks for your help.

Try it

• Will make a POST request
• URL = http://holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx?wsdl
• The Parameters are sent to the encoding section
• encoding: .Custom =>
• Created a mutbleRequest
• a. You can take directly URL or b. New URL
• the important is mutableRequest.HTTBody, it is where the soap-message is placed with the necessary values (type String)

• the Headers can vary from according to the web service and API, in one case can have login / password / token or only authorisation

• the line --> "Content-Type" : or "Content-Length" depends on the situation.

• SWXMLHash.parse(response.data!) is to handle the response, your can see more in [AlamoFire / Usage / Response Handling ] (https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire)

     Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx?wsdl", 
  parameters: nil, 
  encoding: .Custom({
     (convertible, params) in
         //a.
         let mutableRequest = convertible.URLRequest.copy() as!                NSMutableURLRequest
         // or 
         //b.
         mutableRequest.URL =NSURL(string: theUrlString)
         let mutableReques02 = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: theURL!)
         //
         //mutableReques02.HTTPBody =....
  
         mutableRequest.HTTPBody =       
              "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
              <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:ns1=\"urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions\"><SOAP-ENV:Body>
                <hs:GetHolidaysAvaible>
                <hs:countrycode> UnitedStates</hs:countrycode>
                </hs:GetHolidaysAvaible>
               </SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
  
      return (mutableRequest, nil)}),
   headers: 
      ["Username": "login", // Login API
       "Password": "password" , // Password API
       "AuthenticatedToken" : "35432",  // Authenticated API
       "Authorization": "Basic nasiouynvo8eyt829409", // Authenticated API
      "Accept" :       "text/xml", 
      "Content-Type" : "text/xml; charset=UTF-8", // Type content and charset accept 
      "Accept-Charset" : "UTF-8",])
   .responsePropertyList { response in 
         let xml = SWXMLHash.parse(response.data!)
                  print(xml) 
  }
