Service Client Receives "Bad Request (Invalid Header Name)" Respon

[=?Utf-8?B?RWFnbGVSZWRASGlnaEZseWluZ0JpcmRzLmNvbQ==]

I have written a Web Service that works with my test harness written using
VS2005. However, a client to the service consistently receives a "Bad
Request (Invalid Header Name)" response for each request. He is using
another development environment that requires that he create the actual
request via multiple calls to a library to construct the request. I have
sniffed the traffic from my harness program and the requests look like the
following:

POST /TotalService/POSService.asmx HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client
Protocol 2.0.50727.1433)
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "http://www.coltpos.com/TotalService/ExecuteBasic"

Maybe, you need to start looking at the raw HTML/data that's being sent.
