The problem is that SOAP uses a different encapsulation in each version, there
seems to be a difference even in the way Delphi Pro/Enterprise handles this and
it's different between versions too. The best thing you can do is to handle SOAP
requests manually in your application and use an XML parser to obtain the
information and maybe write a function that handles Open Array Parameters like
"Format", to connect to the SOAP server i used the Indy HTTP Client.
Hope this helps.
