Select-XML does nothing when using namespace

There are some code

123.xml:

<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <SOAP:Body>
    <P2MessageServiceStatus>
      <CONNECTION>CONNECTION_CONNECTED</CONNECTION>
      <ROUTER>ROUTER_CONNECTED</ROUTER>
    </P2MessageServiceStatus>
  </SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>

so, i am trying go get value using name Spaces. It runs ok without it, but with namespaces it does nothing

$url='http://123.xml'
$xpath='/SOAP:Envelope/SOAP:Body/P2MessageServiceStatus/@CONNECTION'
$namespace='SOAP'

$wc = New-Object  Net.WebClient
[xml]$xml_body = $wc.DownloadString($url)
$xmlvalue= Select-Xml -XPath $xpath -Xml $xml_body -Namespace @{ SOAP = 'http://test'}

$xmlvalue will be empty with no errors, how to fix it ?

2 things wrong here:

  1. Namespace is not right
  2. Connection is not an attribute, so @ is not necessary.

This worked for me:

$xml = [xml] (gc e:\1.txt )
$xpath='/SOAP:Envelope/SOAP:Body/P2MessageServiceStatus/CONNECTION'
$xmlvalue= Select-Xml -XPath $xpath -Xml $xml -Namespace @{ "SOAP" = 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'}
$xmlvalue
