I've just watched the client doing a copy between datastores using the Copy_Task - which works succesfully. When I try it via the SOAP interface myself though it doesn't work. Here's the request I'm sending:
REQUEST: $VAR1 = 'POST https://docsserver1.testing.local/sdk

';

Here's what the client is doing:

</soap:Envelope>
It gets back a valid response:

I'm sending what appears to be the exact same thing as the client, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
