XML Namespaces in responses

1

Hi,

When making a CompanyDataRequest using the example XML provided the response does not contain the namespace http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk on the CompanyData object in the response. Is this intended, and if not what’s wrong with my request.

I also note in the response the XSD is defined as being at file:///home/xml/htdocs/XMLGW/schema/Egov_ch-v2-0.xsd which doesn’t seem correct, should it not be http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v2-1/schema/Egov_ch-v2-0.xsd?

Request XML:
