通过HTTP调用Soap Web服务，给出异常“连接关闭”

Question

I am calling third party Web service over HTTP but it is failing to connect in WPF application/Console Application. Exception is connection close. Wondering why it is closed though same SOAP message works in SOAP UI. Can I give Action with URN as I copyed from SOAP UI. Please suggest what is wrong. Since it is not using browser so cros domain problem should not be.

My C# code is as follows.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Xml;

            XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = CreateSoapEnvelope();
            HttpWebRequest webRequest = CreateWebRequest(_url, _action);
            InsertSoapEnvelopeIntoWebRequest(soapEnvelopeXml, webRequest);

            // Start the asynchronous operation to get the response

            return soapEnvelop;

Take out the webRequest.KeepAlive = false in the CreateWebRequest method.

When using HTTP/1.1, Keep-Alive is on by default. Setting KeepAlive to false may result in sending a Connection: Close header to the server. -From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.keepalive.aspx
