SOAP::Lite WSDL request (Strawberry Perl to IIS 6.1)

stevieb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

This is my first ever attempt at using a SOAP API, and I've spent most of yesterday and part of today trying to figure out this issue.

I can connect via my script to the server, but am getting "SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive: HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type" as an error.

First thing I see is in the trace output:

Accept: application/soap
[download]

...a bit later in the same error:

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
[download]

... so I assume that is the problem. I've tried both of:

$SOAP::Constants::DO_NOT_CHECK_CONTENT_TYPE = 1;
$SOAP::Constants::DO_NOT_USE_CHARSET = 1;
[download]

To no avail.

Might someone be able to point me to where I'm going wrong? I've searched all over but just can't figure out what exactly is wrong, nor can I find any more knobs to turn for testing.

Code:

use warnings;
use strict;

use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'debug';

my $wsdl = 'http://localhost/demo/idapi/wsdl';
my $soap = SOAP::Lite->service($wsdl);

print $soap->UserclassList();
[download]

To verify that I'm connected correctly, I mistype the method name, and it returns a list of valid methods:

Unrecognized method 'BLAH'. List of available method(s): PSLStoreSet O
+nboardManagedSystem UserclassPointCacheRecalculate ... etc

Here's the full error message:

What server? Also `use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'debug', readable => 1;`	[reply]
