How to post soap request and parse xml result form a web service

I have to develop an application program for android with Titanium Studio 1.7.2.
To do this, I have to call a web service and parse the response. I tried this :

var url="https://minos.altran.com/minosweb/mnbzt_soap.php?action=MOBCONGEST_query";
    var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();

    var soapRequest = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n" +
    "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"" + 
    "xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"" +
    "xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">" +
    "<soap:Header/>" +    
    "<soap:Body>" +
    "<body xsi:type=\"data:query_params\" xmlns:data=\"http://minos.altran.com/MOBCONGEST/Data/\">" +
                "<query_type>get_user_profil</query_type>" +
                   "<user xsi:type=\"data:user_profil\">" +     
                   "<entite>"+metier+"</entite>" +    
                  "<id_profil>"+id_p+"</id_profil>" +
                "<login>"+field1.value+"</login>" +
                "<password>"+field2.value+"</password>" + 
                "</user>" +
                "</body>" +
                "</soap:Body>"
                "</soap:Envelope>";


    xhr.open("GET", url); 
    xhr.send({username : "S-MINOS-BZT"});
    xhr.send({password : "3knqt7ew!"});
    xhr.setRequestHeader("WWW-Authenticate","Basic");
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml", "charset=utf-8");
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", soapRequest.length); 
    xhr.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "https://minos.altran.com/minosweb/classes/toolbox/minosgeneric/biztalk/soap/server/plugins/MOBCONGEST_query/wsdl/MOBCONGEST.wsdl"); 

    xhr.onload = function() {
        var doc = Titanium.XML.parseString(this.responseText);
        var type = doc.getElementsByTagName("login");
        Titanium.API.log(type.item(0).text);
    };    

    xhr.send({xml : soapRequest});

But it still doesn’t work. What is wrong ?

Save yourself a lot of manual coding and try out Suds.js from Appcelerator's own Kevin Whinnery. I used it in the past successfully for .NET web services.

Thank you for your answer. I'm sure it was useful in the past but in suds.js I saw for example
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
which we can not use now.We have to use
var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();

- Hi Lily, Have you figured out what was wrong with your code above? I can't seem to connect to my webservice either.
  thanks.

- Hi i am working with Soap call: I want to do a soap call to fetch data from server. In my case i want to fetch data from sugarCRM framework. But unfortunately i m not able to pass multidimensional json format to the server via sudonclient object. I have tried the same thing in PHP and it returns me exaclty what i want. I want to pass a selected field array to the server for field selection in mysql result. It working fine in php but not in titanium using json format.
  
  PHP code $product_list_params = array( 'session' => $session, 'module_name' => 'Accounts', 'query' => '', 'order_by'=>'', 'offset' => 0, 'select_fields' => array('id','name'), 'max_results' => 1, 'deleted' => 0 ); //parameters array
  
  $product_list_array = $client->call('get_entry_list',$product_list_params); //make call
  
  Titanium Code
  
  var data='{"session":"'+session_id+'","module_name":"'+m_name+'","query":"","order_by":"name asc","offset":"2","max_results":"10","deleted":"0","select_fields":["id","name"]}';
  
  var list=JSON.parse(data); //parse data
  
  suds.invoke('get_entry_list',list,function(xmlDoc){
  
  //But here i dont got any response data in
  
  var retNode = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('return').item(0);
  
  });
