AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'items

Hi All,

I am having problems trying to work out what I have done wrong, any help would be much appreciated :)

The error points to:

for header in headers.items():

The line 7:

headers = {'Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'}

Is a set, not a dictionary as it shall be. I tried with:

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/soap+xml', 'charset': 'utf-8'}

and does not produce an error, but I do not know if it what you want...

Hello, the headers argument should be a dictionary, but you assigned the headers variable to a set with a single string argument in line 7.

Check this tutorial, in particular "Working with headers" section.
