node-soap issue, invalid xml

Question

I have spent hours figuring this issue out, but still haven't able to resolve this issue. If I send a request to the API with the same request body using Postman, it works just fine, but in the code it's giving me 'Invalid XML' error.

Anyone has any idea what am I doing wrong here?

Code Snippet

const host = "https://staging.familytreedna.com/ftdnawebservice/lifelinehometest.asmx?wsdl";

Soap.createClient(host, function(err, client){

    client.on('soapError', function(err, eid){
        console.log("REQUEST ERROR", err);
    });
    client.on('request', function(xml, eid){
        console.log("REQUEST SOAP", xml);
    });
    const _requestParam = {......};

    var result1 = client.LifelineHomeTestWS.LifelineHomeTestWSSoap.Create({
        message: _requestParam,
    });
});

You have shown the code that requests the data, but where you are using it — Mikkel, May 23 '18 at 12:41
@Mikkel I just updated the code. `request` callback is where I'm getting this xml `Request Data` and after the `Create` method call, it goes straight to `soapError` callback. — Muhammad Saud, May 23 '18 at 15:30
You probably moved on since then - but I just ran into the same thing and it was caused by the fact that the WSDL had incorrectly specified the endpoint as http (instead of https), so the request was getting redirected and losing the post data — Nicolas Galler, Aug 04 '18 at 05:09
