I am trying to write a device handler for Netgear Routers. It will enable various actions (such as turning on/off guest wifi) to be handled through ST.
I have the access to device’s SOAP interface through LAN and I know what to send to the device as in SOAP XML format.
I prefer to use HubSoapAction command because it handles the Soap headers. But I could not find any method to add a soap-envelope header section to the soap xml data with HubSoapAction command.
Since some of the commands require this header section, I used HubAction command with raw data instead (idea by @Philippe_Portes )
The problem is , return from the HubAction command does not reach the parse function. It doesn’t trigger parse. Maybe it is not associated with the device I created for my router.
On the other hand , all of the HubSoapAction command responsed trigger the parse function.
My router is using IP 192.168.254.1 and the Soap interface is on tcp port 80
So I entered network device ID c0a8fe01:0050 in my device settings when I created it.
This is correct , right ?
This is the HubAction command I try 
private gwget() {
state.lastcmd = "gwget"
def host = "192.168.254.1"
def port = "80"
def hubaction
try {
hubaction = new physicalgraph.device.HubAction("""POST /soap/server_sa/ HTTP/1.1
SOAPAction: "urn:NETGEAR-ROUTER:service:WLANConfiguration:1#GetGuestAccessEnabled"
Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
Host: ${host}:${port}
Accept: */*

</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>""", physicalgraph.device.Protocol.LAN,"${deviceNetworkId}")
}
catch (Exception e) {
log.debug e
}
return hubaction
}
I can see that the soap packet is reaching my router and it replies (I got network trace on my router)
This is the request and response I see on the trace:

On the other hand, this is a sample from HubSoapAction request and response which successfully triggers the parse function:
POST /soap/server_sa/ HTTP/1.1

I really can’t find what is wrong. Please someone who knows the internals of ST hubaction and hubsoapaction commands, help me…
I had different problems before I came to this point. And most of them were solved on the following thread (thanks to @Philippe_Portes ):
