Consume WCF service using add web reference and add a soap header

Question

I have a WCF 4 web service that checks for a soap header. This works fine with a WCF client but I have a customer that needs to use the old web reference from their app. How do you consume a WCF service using Add Web Reference and the add a SOAP header in the client? Lets keep it simple and say I want to pass a country in a header, so the header name will be country.

Thanks, Paul

You need to expose your endpoint across the basicHttpBinding in order to interoperate with pre .net 3.0 clients.
