<!--- You'd need to strip any whitespace before passing to CFHTTP --->
<cfsavecontent variable="soap">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="SOAPAction" value="">

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="charset" value="utf-8">
<cfhttpparam type="xml" name="message" value="#trim(soap)#">
</cfhttp>

<!--- Dump out a nice representation of the SOAP response --->
