The client payload you show below looks like SOAP 2.3.1, which is good. It should be able to properly encode characters as UTF-8, and as you see, it specifies that charset in the Content-Type header.
The error response from the server is very generic. Are you certain that the URL is correct? If you point your browser to http://dragos:8000/soap/servlet/soaprouter, what do you see? If Apache SOAP is configured to handle that URL, your browser should show a page with the message "Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET- you have to use HTTP POST to talk to me."
