Hey Clem, That raw request you're seeing is the client-side channel handshake with the server endpoint. This happens before any general messages/requests/data are shipped over the channel/endpoint connection. For some reason the response to this initial request isn't returning the server half of the handshake as valid AMFX. Do you see any other raw response info (say response headers and response status code) in addition to that odd body?
Once this initial connect-time handshake is working, the SOAP request will be sent to the server where it'll be proxied through to the actual target SOAP endpoint.
