Hi Monks,

Perl web service which is consumed by c# client is returning null, what could be the possible reason.
Perl web service seems returning data though, below is the response perl web service is generating with some exception

Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response con
+tent type of '', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
--

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 1449
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
