Constructing this SOAP header properly?

I'm attempting to build a proper SOAP header:

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:sen="https://webservices.averittexpress.com/SendWebImageService">
<soapenv:Header
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ns:authnHeader
soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"
xmlns:ns="http://webservices.averittexpress.com/authn">
<Username>xxxxxxxx</Username> <Password>xxxxxxxx</Password>
</ns:authnHeader> </soapenv:Header>

This is my Savon client call, I'm using version 2:

client = Savon.client(
  wsdl: api_url,
  raise_errors: false,
  convert_request_keys_to: :camelcase,
  element_form_default: :qualified,
  env_namespace: :soapenv,
  soap_header: {'username' => username, 'password' => password }
)

I'm getting the following SOAP error:

fault=>
  {:faultcode=>"soapenv:Server",
  :faultstring=>"java.lang.NullPointerException",
  :detail=>nil}}

How do I get the sapoenv:mustUserstand="0" line, and what is it?

Plus I'm confused how to set the xmlns:ns="http://webservices.averittexpress.com/authn">.

I've little experience using SOAP requests, and am coming from a Ruby/Rails RESTful background. Any help would be appreciated.

Savon uses Gyoku to convert both SOAP header and body to XML.
Following this libraries conventions, here's what your Hash needs to look like:

soap_header = {
  "ns:authnHeader" => {
    "@soapenv:mustUnderstand" => 0,
    "@xmlns:ns" => "http://webservices.averittexpress.com/authn",
    "Username"  => "x",
    "Password"  => "x"
  }
}

Savon.client(:soap_header => soap_header)
