You are right that "according to the book" SOAP 1.1 must have SOAPAction. However in practice I'm not sure if one can count on this. Some stacks that use WS-Addressing might decide to omit it as it is redundant and there are also cases where the action is empty so it might also be removed.

Why not use a different address?
