> Hi,  
>   
> This is my first post and here is my problem. I’m trying to download file from SOAP web service usign Powershell scripts but I’m not sure if that is possible. Would that work with System.Net.WebClient or Invoke-WebRequest? Any help is appriciated. Below is the example of header I need to pass to service.

> If what you’re trying to do is interact with a REST-based web service, I think what you may be looking for is Invoke-RestMethod.
