Hello everyone,
I am writing a simple web method which returns byte[], and the byte[] is encoded by UTF-8. I have investigated related WSDL and soap message, seems the underlying web services stack will use base64 encoding?
For various reasons, I can not use or re-encode my return byte[] from UTF-8 to base64. Any ideas to modify the base64 encoding to UTF-8 encoding?
Here is my related web methods, SOAP message and related type in WSDL
[Code]Web service server side code
[WebMethod] public byte[] HelloWorld2() { return utf8encodedbytes; }
SOAP response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <HelloWorld2Response xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> <HelloWorld2Result>base64Binary</HelloWorld2Result> </HelloWorld2Response> </soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
related type in WSDL
xsd:base64Binary[/Code]
thanks in advance,George
