OK, Finally I was able to resolve this issue :)
I was searching in the wrong direction, I was looking how to open the URL secured by basic authentication using $.Ajax, where I should search for consuming SOAP service from JavaScript using XMLHttpRequest()
the following is the answer to my question: 

var symbol = "MSFT"; 
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
//xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?op=GetQuote", true);
// if you use username and password to secure your URL
xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?op=GetQuote", true, 'username', 'password');
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
        console.log(xmlhttp.responseText);
    }
}
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
var xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
          '<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
          'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ' +
          'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' + 
          '<soap:Body> ' +
          '<GetQuote xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/"> ' +
          '<symbol>' + symbol + '</symbol> ' +
          '</GetQuote> ' +
          '</soap:Body> ' +
          '</soap:Envelope>';
xmlhttp.send(xml);

You need to use jquery ajax for that.

            var uri="http://asmx_file_path/asmx_service_file_name/method_name_in_asmx_file"
            //ex: var uri = "http://mysite.test.com/services/data/mobile.asmx?method=login&username=" + uname+ "&password=" + pwd;
            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: uri,
                success: function (msg) {
                    jasondata = eval('(' + msg + ')');

                },
            });

You also need to add service reference for that asmx file.

    <asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManagerProxy1" runat="server">
    <Services>
        <asp:ServiceReference Path="~/services/data/mobile.asmx" />
    </Services>
    </asp:ScriptManagerProxy>

You can have a look at this tutorial.

  • I do not have a server code (Like ASP.NET) to help me process and consume the service, I'm trying to create a hyper app where it will use only JavaScript. – Owidat Dec 25 '13 at 02:58
