I have C# code that produces a soap API and pushes it to a vendor. this works to an extent, however when i run it i keep getting "<?xml version="1.0"?>" added to the top. Can this be removed as the vendor on the other end of this cannot parse that section and it is causing the code to error out. if i take out the xml in the code and manually push without the above tag it works fine.

 HttpWebRequest request = CreateWebRequest();
 XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = new XmlDocument();

 soapEnvelopeXml.LoadXml($@"

 ");

 using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
 
 //soapEnvelopeXml.Load(stream);
 //Console.Out.Write(soapEnvelopeXml.DocumentElement.OuterXml);
 soapEnvelopeXml.Save(stream);


 Console.WriteLine(stream);
 
 // System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
 using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
 {
 using (StreamReader rd = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
 {
 string soapResult = rd.ReadToEnd();

 Console.WriteLine(soapResult);

 rd.Close();

when this is working properly i receive processed ok (manually pushed without "<?xml version="1.0"?>" element)

When this fails i receive

error 102 request_not_valid
