I'm not sure off hand why you see the behavior you do, but it is not a bug
in Apache SOAP. The Apache SOAP client does something similar to what you
do. Just check the source for org.apache.soap.util.net.HttpUtils#post.
Something important you should see in that code is that it uses a stream to
read the bytes first, then uses the value of the Context-type header to
convert the data to characters. Your code reads characters using your
default encoding. This is fine if the server is sending data using that
encoding, but it will cause problems if the server and client use
incompatible encodings.
