That was exactly correct. All tests are passing now. Thanks David!

" Is the & in McMoretestspam Wedding Ceremony & Reception 05/25/2013 encoded?"

Holy crap. Been banging my head on this for days, and I think that's the obvious answer I missed. Testing now.

In answer to the other questions, it's well formed xml packets being posted via cURL in PHP.

Hi ImTheirWebGuy

How are you sending the request? Are you just sending xml directly? Is the & in McMoretestspam Wedding Ceremony & Reception 05/25/2013 encoded?

If that is not the issue can you send me an email(so you don't post sensitive data in the forum) with an example of data from a good post post, a bad post, and your account name

Hi there!

We've got a customer form which on submission, creates a new Lead and associated Opportunity. For the most part, this works without issue. Every now and then, with no explanation, the Lead will create, but the Opportunity fails to. I added a hook to email me the raw API call after submission, and waited for the next failure, then tested the Opportunity call in SoapUI, and received the following response:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

I can't see any difference between submissions which work correctly, and submissions which do not. Here's an example of the call that just failed:

Any guidance? The system works 75% of the time, but that 25% is causing some huge distrust of the system from our sales staff, and I'm trying to get it nailed down without much success. I'd love to hear that I overlooked something obvious.
