How are you generating this response?

Thanks Ben for quick reply. Steps below-

xml = “my request xml here”
wsdl_url = “https://sandbox.ws-idu.tracesmart.co.uk/v5.6/?wsdl”
headers = [{“content-type”, “text/xml”}]

{:ok, %HTTPoison.Response{status_code: 200, body: body}} = HTTPoison.post(wsdl_url, xml, headers)

Are you parsing the XML response?

To look into the response, I am doing

IO.puts(“#{body}”)

I am getting ‘<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>’ before the actual response, which I want to remove Ben.

No parsing, just this much as above. I just want to remove the header from the response.

I can send the request xml as well, if you need.

The issue is resolved now.

How? You should leave some info for future readers.

I could not get any information on removing the xml declaration. I could not remove that till now.
What I could resolve was my issue of storing the response xml data in database.

But why would you want to remove the XML header? That makes the XML invalid.
