NuSOAP Service Response on Localhost

Question

I'm having some problems with a NuSOAP API. I have a .NET Core application that calls this API by posting the correct XML envelope like so:

Uri uri = new Uri(ServiceConfiguration.SERVICE_URL);

HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();

hc.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("SOAPAction", ServiceConfiguration.SERVICE_URL + "/" + oRequest.Action);

   var content = new StringContent(oRequest.RequestMessage, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");

   using (HttpResponseMessage response = await hc.PostAsync(uri, content))
            { 
             (...) 
            }

So basically this is posting a XML Envelope with a SOAP request. If I run this on my computer and call the remote NuSOAP API I get the correct response -> An XML with the SOAP response. The problem is if I have the NuSOAP API running also on my PC (both localhost) I get a very strange response (With loads of strange symbols).

Response I get when NuSOAP is localhost (NOT OK - Invalid XML)

Response I get when NuSOAP is remote (OK - Valid XML)

"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:SOAP-ENC=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\"> http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"> (...) "

I also keep getting the "Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated" and I've already changed the always_populate_raw_post_data to -1 on the .ini and I keep getting those.

Check if the PHP version of your remote host is the same of your localhost. — Felippe Duarte
Hi. Yes same versions. Same API (same code). 1 running on MyPC and 1 running on a remote server. — Ricardo Mota
Try disable display_errors in your php.ini. Of course, it's not a solution for this, but only a test to see if this is your problem. PHP probably is sending this warning message, which will make your XML invalid. — Felippe Duarte
Well I've tried it again and without displaying errors seems to be working fine — Ricardo Mota
It is, only that isn't. You should fix this warnings. Are you using $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA somewhere? — Felippe Duarte

I have same problem with nusoap "invalid xml". I'm using the latest php nusoap available here:https://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoapforphp53/ which is for php 5.3, but my php version is running 5.6. Some of the php function used in nusoap.php is deprecated. thats's why showing that error.

Some quick fix I did was: Put this in nusoap.php, to prevent display error

<?php 
error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Or find the line which command' deprecated in nusoap.php and replace it with its alternative.
