[severity:Other]
I used Visual Studio 2022 (64-bit) Version 17.10.5 to create a C# SOAP web service using the .NET Framework 4.8 to process SOAP responses sent by a 3rd party SOAP service, but now I need to know how to allow my SOAP service to accept the Content-Type of "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" which is the Content-Type being returned by the 3rd party. The 3rd party states that the Content-Type of "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is a requirement that my SOAP service should accept it. I have searched extensively over the past 2 days and cannot find a solution on how to configure my SOAP service. The SOAP service is published to a Windows Server 2022 (Version 21H2 - OS Build 20348.2582) IIS Web Server (Version 10.0.20348.)

I also created a separate SOAP service using the .NET Framework 4.8 using the example "HelloWorld" so I could try change the Content-Type within that SOAP service but could not figure how to accomplish that. Is there a way to change the default Content-Type from "application/soap+xml" to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"?

Below is the code for the HelloWorld SOAP

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Description;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

namespace WebServiceProject
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for WebService
    /// </summary>
    //[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
    [WebService(Namespace = "http://localhost:8082/")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
    // To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line. 
    // [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

    public class WebService : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod]

        public string HelloWorld()
        {
            return "Hello World";
        }

        [WebMethod]
        public int Add(List<int> listInt)
        {
            int result = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < listInt.Count; i++)
            {
                result = result + listInt[i];
            }
            return result;
        }
        
    }
}

This ticket was routed to the wrong team. I'm not sure what is the right discussion board for classic ASP.NET SOAP WebServices today, but given that the original question was asked on 8/1, and the comments have been made readonly there, IMO it's fine to close this.
