title: What value is required for the HTTP header Content-Type for Workday SOAP APIs?
body: <p>I want to access data from Workday HCM using the APIs mentioned <a href="https://community.workday.com/sites/default/files/file-hosting/productionapi/Human_Resources/v34.2/Human_Resources.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. Instead of using SoapUI or Zeep Python library, I want to try to fetch data using Postman as a part of a POC. I was curious to know what should be the value for the header <strong>Content-Type</strong> when I make a request using Postman ie whether it should be application/xml or text/xml. You may have a few questions that I have answered here:</p>
  <p>Q1. Why can't I just try using application/xml and then text/xml?</p>
  <p>A. I don't have an access to any Workday tenant to try it out.</p>
  <p>Q2. Why do I need to know the Content-Type even before I have the tenant?</p>
  <p>A. We already have a Postman type solution which lets a user to select either application/xml or application/json. Depending upon what Workday requires, I'll need to take further actions.</p>
  <p>Q3. Both the Content-Type values are basically the same. How does it matter?</p>
  <p>A. I know a few SOAP APIs fail when provided with Content-Type as application/xml instead of text/xml, hence the question. If Workday APIs respond successfully for both the types, please let me know.</p>
