ORA-29266: end-of-body reached - using SOAP_API over SSL

Question

Hey guys. I have a simple SOAP_API I am using to send SOAP over SSL. It seems to connect fine but give off some shaky results. This is the error I keep getting:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29266: end-of-body reached
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1321
ORA-06512: at "LOANADMIN.SOAP_API", line 229
ORA-06512: at "LOANADMIN.GET_CITY_FROM_ZIPCODE", line 29
ORA-06512: at line 2
it seems to mainly happen on these two peices of code:
UTL_HTTP.write_text(l_http_request, l_envelope);
UTL_HTTP.read_text(l_http_response, l_envelope);
Sometimes the first and sometimes the latter. I know my XML is well formed, and im thinking the response is to big for the variable (im thinking the response could be larger than 32k. not sure though).
I've searched all over this forum, but it seems like the people who have solutions to this particular problem found it on meta-link. I dont have a meta-link account. Could someone please simply explain the solution and problem im running into?
That would help a lot. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, and it is inside the SOAP_API package from http://www.oracle-base.com/dba/miscellaneous/soap_api.sql :
ORA-29266: end-of-body reached
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1330
ORA-06512: at "NAPS.SOAP_API", line 119
I understand the responses given:
EXCEPTION WHEN UTL_HTTP.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
END;
and the suggestion to use UTL_HTTP.read_line instead of UTL_HTTP.read_text, but would like some assistance in modifying the procedure to ensure I get the full response returned.
The procedure with the error is:
FUNCTION invoke(p_request IN OUT NOCOPY t_request,
p_url IN VARCHAR2,
p_action IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN t_response AS
l_envelope VARCHAR2(32767);
l_http_request UTL_HTTP.req;
l_http_response UTL_HTTP.resp;
l_response t_response;
BEGIN
generate_envelope(p_request, l_envelope);
show_envelope(l_envelope);
l_http_request := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(p_url, 'POST','HTTP/1.1');
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Length', LENGTH(l_envelope));
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'SOAPAction', p_action);
UTL_HTTP.write_text(l_http_request, l_envelope);
l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
UTL_HTTP.read_text(l_http_response, l_envelope);
UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
l_response.doc := XMLTYPE.createxml(l_envelope);
l_response.envelope_tag := p_request.envelope_tag;
l_response.doc := l_response.doc.extract('/'||l_response.envelope_tag||':Envelope/'||l_response.envelope_tag||':Body/child::node()',
'xmlns:'||l_response.envelope_tag||'="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"');
-- show_envelope(l_response.doc.getstringval());
check_fault(l_response);
RETURN l_response;
END;
I have tested the exact call I am making using 'soapUI 2.5.1' so I can compare results to ensure I get the code right, and I am expecting a response of 1755 bytes (well short of the 32767 that is said to cause this error).
My call is not over SSL, the call I am trying to make is:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:abr="http://abr.business.gov.au/ABRXMLSearchRPC/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<abr:ABRSearchByABN soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<searchString xsi:type="xsd:string">11006489103</searchString>
<includeHistoricalDetails xsi:type="xsd:string">N</includeHistoricalDetails>
<authenticationGuid xsi:type="xsd:string">?</authenticationGuid>
</abr:ABRSearchByABN>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The calling code is:
DECLARE
l_request soap_api.t_request;
l_response soap_api.t_response;
l_return VARCHAR2(32767);
l_url VARCHAR2(32767);
l_namespace VARCHAR2(32767);
l_method VARCHAR2(32767);
l_soap_action VARCHAR2(32767);
l_result_name VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_url := 'http://abr.business.gov.au/abrxmlsearchRPC/ABRXMLSearch.asmx';
l_namespace := 'http://abr.business.gov.au/ABRXMLSearchRPC/"';
l_method := 'ABRSearchByABN';
l_soap_action := 'http://abr.business.gov.au/ABRXMLSearchRPC/ABRSearchByABN';
l_request := soap_api.new_request(p_method => l_method,
p_namespace => l_namespace);
soap_api.add_parameter(p_request => l_request,
p_name => 'searchString',
p_type => 'xsd:string',
p_value => '11006489103');
soap_api.add_parameter(p_request => l_request,

p_type => 'xsd:string',
p_value => 'N');
soap_api.add_parameter(p_request => l_request,
p_name => 'authenticationGuid',
p_type => 'xsd:string',
p_value => '?');
l_response := soap_api.invoke(p_request => l_request,
p_url => l_url,
p_action => l_soap_action);
l_return := l_response.doc.getStringVal();
dbms_output.put_line('-----------------------------------------------------------');
dbms_output.put_line(l_return);
END;
