Adding Soap Header

[GrexD]

I received a WSDL from a company so I can access their service. In testing with them they supplied me with a request which has <soap:Header><con:Context> (see below), which I copied and pasted in to soapUI for testing. Most of the elements must be populated or the request fails. After testing they supplied me with a WSDL which only has the body and does not have the header. I tried adding it to the WSDL, but either I did it wrong (first time working on a WSDL like that) because anything above the <soap:Body> does not show up as an object in VS 2010 when the WSDL is loaded as a service reference. I was able to add it to part of payLoad, but the request still failed, as I thought it would.

I contacted the developer and they said they would not change the WSDl and couldn't understand why I didn't just add the header to the envelope (Java programmers). I had them remote in to show them the way VS works with this and they had never seen that before. They suggested I figure out how to make a soap request over https. I would need to do this with a cert. I have the app.cofig set for the endpoint with a cert.

Is there a way for me to add the header to the soap envelope before it leaves my app or will I need to figure out how to do it by building my own soap envelope and not user the native Service Reference objects in VS.

Any help is appreciated.
