Issues upgrading to API2

[willm]

Hello All,

We use a bit of an antiquated system for charging.  We use SOAP via cURL.  

I'm working on updating our API from:

https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx

TO 

https://api2.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx

I thought this would be a simple change, put a number 2 in the URL. :)

However, when testing this I'm not able to get a response back using the api2 URL.

Below is a screen shot showing two different transactions.  The top section has our current api.authorize.net API call which is successful.  The bottom section has the api2.authorize.net change which was unsuccessful, error 500.  

Any help on this would be appriciated.

Thanks!

<CreateCustomerProfile xmlns="https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/">

Thanks Raynor.

I changed my call to:

curl_command: c:\sesame\curl.exe -s -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" -H "SOAPAction:" --insecure  -d @- -X POST "https://api2.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx"

xml_request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
	<CreateCustomerProfileTransaction xmlns="https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/">
	<merchantAuthentication>
		<name>7J45wEfd3a</name>
		<transactionKey>5T24v4z9neFq2J47</transactionKey>
	</merchantAuthentication>
   <transaction>
<profileTransPriorAuthCapture>
		<amount>0.5000</amount>
		<transId>20011032823</transId>
</profileTransPriorAuthCapture>
		</transaction>
	</CreateCustomerProfileTransaction>
	</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

This worked, thank you.  

So do I really need to update our API to api2.authorize.net?
