SOAP Request with WSSE-Header in Javascript

I have the following code to execute a SOAP request with an wsse header but it seems not to work. I get a error response but I am not able to get the fault/error out of the response.
Does the below code look correct or do I miss something?
var request = "<soapenv:Envelope" +
"xmlns:dlg='http://dlg123Lib'" +
"xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>" +
"<soapenv:Header>" +
"<wsse:Security" +
"xmlns:wsse='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd'" +
"xmlns:wsu='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd'>" +
"<wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id='UsernameToken-BF09AFF37A2C36D4AB164000000000000000'>" +
"<wsse:Username>BLABLABLA</wsse:Username>" +
"<wsse:Password Type='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText'>BLABLABLA</wsse:Password>" +
"</wsse:UsernameToken>" +
"</wsse:Security>" +
"</soapenv:Header>" +
"<soapenv:Body>" +
"<dlg:getData>" +
"<name>AB</name>" +
"</dlg:getData>" +
"</soapenv:Body>" +
"</soapenv:Envelope>"
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'https://endpoint_url/dlg/data',
type: "POST",
data: request,
dataType: "xml",
contentType: "text/xml; charset='utf-8'",
success: function (soapResponse) {
alert("Success");
},
error: function (soapResponse) {
alert("Error");
}
});
When I execute the exact same request like above in SoapUI without setting an Authorization the request is executed correctly.
So it must be something wrong with the jQuery implementation(?)
UPDATE 15.01.2022
I was told by the customer that the Payload of the request is empty. Anybody an idea why this could happen?

Handling file download from ajax get request in JavaScript

I am using a python CGI server to handle a cgi-bin request that I am making from an ajax call.
I'm trying to download the information I'm receiving on the Python side from my browser, using a button that triggers the ajax call.
I have tried some different things I saw on StackOverflow, but nothing has helped.
function issueDownloadCmd(port) {
var statusURL = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/cgi-bin/sod_log.py" + "?" + "down" + port.toString();
$.ajaxSetup({ 'cache': true });
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: statusURL,
error: function (xhr, desc, exception) {
$('#traceStatus').html("Fail: response=" + xhr.status + "\nbecause: " + desc + "\nexception: " + exception);
},
success: function (data) {
console.log("data was downloaded");
}
});
return false;
}

jQuery 1.8 ajax call returns null although post response has value

I'm having problems with the return value of a jQuery ajax call. I can debug the whole thing server side and I know everything is working correctly and the return value is properly being calculated. I can look under the NET tab in FireBug and see that the response is:
{"d":false}
But when I test the value in the Success function of the ajax call, msg is NULL. Why?
Here's the ajax call:
function GetStateCertifiable(areaID) {
$.ajax({
url: "../WebServices/AoP.asmx/GetStateCertifiable",
data: '{"AreaID":"' + areaID + '"}',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (msg) {
alert(msg); // for debugging
if (msg)
$("#isCertified").slideDown("fast");
else
$("#isCertified").slideUp("fast");
},
error: function (msg) {
alert("An error occured. \nStatus: " + result.status
+ "\nStatus Text: " + result.statusText
+ "\nError Result: " + result);
},
complete: function () {
}
});
};
Other, similarly structured client-side calls work fine. This is a same-domain request.

try changing the name of the variable to something other than msg. I think that might be a message box or something similar. Try
function GetStateCertifiable(areaID) {
$.ajax({
url: "../WebServices/AoP.asmx/GetStateCertifiable",
data: '{"AreaID":"' + areaID + '"}',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
alert(result); // for debugging
if (result)
$("#isCertified").slideDown("fast");
else
$("#isCertified").slideUp("fast");
},
error: function (result) {
alert("An error occured. \nStatus: " + result.status
+ "\nStatus Text: " + result.statusText
+ "\nError Result: " + result);
},
complete: function () {
}
});
};

It turns out the problem was that my web service (../WebServices/AoP.asmx/GetStateCertifiable) returned a bool and from the post response, I know that was properly sent back to the client. Ajax, however, didn't like that. Once I changed the web service to return the strings "true" or "false", everything worked.
Does jQuery ajax only work for strings or is there something I should have done to prepare the msg object to receive a bool?

Jquery ajax call throws empty JS exception?

This function works on one page but not another. I've added all sorts of logging to try to find the error, but cannot. The output of this code on the broken page is:
[13:59:56.427] "here"
[13:59:56.428] "beforesend: /admin/test.html?server=eferbelly&port=24466&username=akilandy&password=vkjvkc9776A"
[13:59:56.428] "fileName=undefined"
[13:59:56.428] "lineNumber=undefined"
[13:59:56.428] "columnNumber=undefined"
[13:59:56.428] "here6"
That tells me it's getting into the exception handler, completely skipping my ajax() call, but it's not telling me the exception.
function test(server, port, username, password, spanId) {
spanId = "#" + spanId;
$(spanId).html("<img src='/images/ajax-small.gif'/>");
console.log("here");
try {
$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
type: "GET",
url: "/admin/test.html?server=" + server + "&port=" + port + "&username=" + username + "&password=" + password,
success: function(json){
console.log("here2");
if (json.httpStatus == "200") {
// Change the image to show success
$(spanId).html("<img src='/images/accept.png' title='success'/>");
}
else {
console.log("here7");
// Change the image to show failure
$(spanId).html("<span style='color:#b22222;'>" + json.httpStatus +"</span> <img style='vertical-align: middle;' src='/images/cancel.png' title='placeholder'/>");
}
console.log("here8");
$(spanId).tooltip({ content: json.msg});
},
// Display the URL
beforeSend: function(b,c,d) {console.log("beforesend: " + c.url);},
error: function(b,c,d) {console.log("here5");}
});
}
catch(e) {
console.log(e);
for (var i in e)
console.log(i + "=" + i[e]);
}
console.log("here6");
}
What could I do further to debug this?
UPDATE: Output of code on a working page
Here's the output of the exact same code but on the page where it is working:
[15:01:20.158] "here"
[15:01:20.159] "beforesend: /admin/test.html?server=eferbelly&port=24466&username=akilandy&password=vkjvkc9776A"
[15:01:20.159] "here6"
[15:01:21.661] GET https://localhost/images/accept.png [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2ms]
[15:01:21.599] "here2"
[15:01:21.600] "here8"
So it obviously gets through the ajax call with flying colors. No errors, nothing. How can I find the problem on the page where it doesn't work?

How to access result array returned in ajax?

Arg!! I had this working flawlessly and now I am back to banging head against the keyboard.
I want access defined columns inside the array, but I am getting undefined but if I display the results using an alert as detailed in snipped of code below I see the following:
[{"firstname":" Mr","0":" Mr","lastname":" Two","1":" Two","user_public_info_id":"3","2":"3","st_usage_id":null,"3":null},{"firstname":" Mr","0":" Mr","lastname":" Three","1":" Three","user_public_info_id":"5","2":"5","st_usage_id":null,"3":null}]
***
g
***
e
***
undefined
Here is the Ajax code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "models/ajaxHandler.php",
data: "handler=getStActivitySharingList&stu_id="+stu_id,
datatype: "json",
success: function(result){
var count = 0;
if (result !== null)
{
//display results
alert(result + " <br />*** <br />" + result[0] +" <br />*** <br />" + result[1] + " <br />*** <br />" + result[0]["firstname"]);
//clears choice list
clearOptions();
//result = $.parseJSON(result); //if this is used cannot display result again
alert (result);
$.each(result, function (i, elem) {
alert("elem"+elem.st_usage_id ); //displays as undefined and won't break
if (elem.st_usage_id === null)
{
count++;
alert(elem.firstname + " "+ elem.lastname + " " + elem.user_public_info_id);
appendOption(elem);
}
});
}
alert(count);
if (count === 0){
noResultsAvailableOption();
}else{
resultsAvailableOption();
}
ShowDialog(false);
e.preventDefault();
},
error: function(){
alert("ajax failure: could not retrieve a list of contacts");
}
});

i not know how you return it from PHP, but in jquery try:
sucess: function (result)
{
console.log(JSON.parse(result)); // parse string to json
}
See json.org

To better answer this question is to implement better debugging procedures.
Here is the code that I used for debugging this issue. The breaking down of the xmlHttpRequest clearly displayed to me that issue was with the data and that I was encountering an illegal character exception when trying to encode the data to json.
A great way to solve any issue is to first implement the correct debugging procedures, and everything else will work itself out.
error: function(xmlHttpRequest, status, error){
alert("ajax failure: could not populate list of countires | " + status + " | error:" + error);
var xmlHttpRequestStr= "";
for(x in xmlHttpRequest)
xmlHttpRequestStr = xmlHttpRequestStr + xmlHttpRequest[x];
alert(xmlHttpRequest);
}
