I'm not sure as I haven't done that since a long time. I kind of
remember having this issue at some point, but since I controlled both
the client and the server I had decided to send the XML document base64
encoded. This was "fixing" the wrong encoding.

It would be nice to check that Apache/AXIS (or any other well known SOAP
implementation) does.
