Failed to execute web request for specified URL mscorlib

Question

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to build a report using an xml query to get data from a web service. The query is:

<Query>
          <Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/" Name="GetMatchingStrategyOuputDataRequest">
              <Parameters>
                  <Parameter Name="StrategyId" Type="XML">
                         <DefaultValue>
                    <Name>Address</Name>
                         </DefaultValue>
                  </Parameter>
              </Parameters>
          </Method>
          <SoapAction>
              http://tempuri.org/IService/GetMatchingStrategyOuputData
          </SoapAction>
          <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">
              GetMatchingStrategyOuputDataResponse{}/Data
          </ElementPath>
</Query>

I am sure everything on the query is right except the namespace. However, I am not sure whether the error that I am getting (see title) is related to the namespace itself or something else. On our code, we have http://tempuri.org/ URI as our namespace, but we have another one (a proper one). I have tried to substitute that one into the code and the query, but when I do, I get a mismatch at EndpointDispatcher error.

I am running out of options, so any help is welcome. Thanks.

Hi becool12,

Thanks for the question. Since you haven't post the detail error message here, so based on my past experiences, I would suggest you to check if your issue caused by the authentication of the web services. This is related thread that I had handled, please check it:

Hi Sharp,

Thanks for replying. The error I am getting is the title of the post. Maybe I should rephrase my question. Will my query work with the namespace http://tempuri.org/ ? Should I use another namespace since http://tempuri.org/ is just a temporary URI? Or the error "Failed to execute web request for specified URL (mscorlib)" has nothing to do with the namespace?

Thanks.

P.S.: I checked the link you posted. Unfortunately, it wasn't much help.

Hi Sharp,

I was able to solve this issue. It had to do with the namespace. I used the correct namespace (my company's namespace), and solved the Endpoint mismatch error with one of my colleagues's help.

Thanks,
