How to send a XML API request in cypress (SOAP API) - api

Question

I need to send XML requests in cypress but I don't know how to do that. Generally, I worked with cy.request with rest API's. Is it possible to send XML requests in cypress?
How can I do that? Any help would be great!! An example would be lovely!
I left an example request that I use in postman without a problem. But to automate my test I need to send that request in cypress.
(POST request)

there are no big differences between standard rest API requests and XML Soap API requests.
cy.request({
method: "POST",
url: "Request URL",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "text/xml;charset=UTF-8",
authorization: "Bearer " + "auth token",
SOAPAction: "serviceOrder",
},
//you have to write your XML body here as a string. I leave a small part
//of my API's body to be an example if someone needs it in the future.
body: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><MT_ServiceOrderInitiaionandMgmt xmlns:prx="***" xmlns="***"><VKONTO>5883000</VKONTO><NAME>cypress</NAME><PORTION>MBC87<MTU_EINBDAT>2002-05-11</MTU_EINBDAT><MTU_SERNR></MTU_SERNR><PORT>1</PORT></Meters></MT_ServiceOrderInitiaionandMgmt></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>',
})
.then((res) => {
//Do something with the response.
});
