Issue grabbing the GetActionConfigurations using a POST request

[CaseyGross1]

Hello! Ive been trying to access the camera actions list stored on my P3265-LVE using Postman.

The camera has been setup with Basic authorization and I have filled out the authorization tab in Postman accordingly.
The headers are set to the following:
Content-Type = application/soap+xml; action=//[www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1/GetActionConfigurations;](https://www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1/GetActionConfigurations;) Charset=UTF-8

The body has been set to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:aa="//[www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1"](https://www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1%22) xmlns:soap="//[www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">](https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope%22%3E)
<soap:Body>
<aa:GetActionConfigurations xmlns="//[www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1">](https://www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1%22%3E)
</aa:GetActionConfigurations>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I keep getting back a 400 Bad Request

Ive also tried using cURL to request the configurations with the following command:

curl --location --request POST 'http://{IPaddress}/vapix/services' -u "user:pass" --header 'Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8' --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:aa="//www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1" xmlns:soap="//www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><soap:Header/><soap:Body><aa:GetActionConfigurations xmlns="//www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1"></aa:GetActionConfigurations></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>'

The cURL request still responds with the same 400 Bad Request.

Adding sample code for your reference in Python:

import requests,json
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

url = "http://10.176.12.83/vapix/services"
payload =""

# open the input xml file and read
# data in form of python dictionary
# using xmltodict module
with open("test.xml") as xml_file:
     
    payload = xml_file.read()
# headers
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'
}
# POST request
#response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
response = requests.request('POST',url,data=payload, auth=HTTPDigestAuth('root','pass'), verify=False) 
# prints the response
print(response.text)
print(response)

test.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Envelope xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
    <Header/>
    <Body >
        <GetActionConfigurations xmlns="http://www.axis.com/vapix/ws/action1"/>
    </Body>
</Envelope>

Hi @CaseyGross1,
Please use "HTTPS" in URL as your device accept HTTPS as default.

Hello!

Thank you for the recommendation! Changing it to HTTPS, I still received a 400 Bad Request. However, I included a few more headers and got it working. Here are the headers I used if anyone else runs into the same issue:
