We discovered a problem with the type detection code in Base.php within the SOAP class.  It incorectly detects strings like CC or even abcd as 'hexBinary'.  It took us quite a while to discover what was happening.  The server then takes the string and tries to un-hex it.  This leads to incorrect data arriving at the server.  The code in Base.php looks like this:

if (SOAP_Type_hexBinary::is_hexbin($value)) {
    $type = 'hexBinary';
} else

We simply commented it out so that it wouldn't change the type.  I know what this code is trying to do, but this is probably not the best way to do it.

You can set the class variable SOAP_BASE::doconversion to false to skip that section of code.  I think I'll set that to false by default.

Maybe if I could read I wouldn't have these problems.  Thank you that worked just fine.  Setting the default to FALSE would probably be a good thing, this conversion is probably not what you would normally want to happen.
