The error is coming from the client side. It is a bug present in the 2.3.1 release version of Apache SOAP, not the nightly build you cite. Did you change your client CLASSPATH to point to the nightly build?
The bug occurs when the server does not send a Content-Type header. This typically only happens when there is an error on the server. Any response from Apache SOAP would have a text/xml Content-Type.
