That should actually work if the request has a body. That means it has
to be a PUT or POST request, simply typing the URL in your browser
won't work. soapUI [1] is an easy way for making SOAP requests. For
such things it's generally best to subclass WARequestHandler and
implement #handeFiltered:.

That means you will have to do the whole SOAP request decoding
yourself and come up with a SOAP response as well.
