I suspect there is an opportunity for multiple callout protocols.
The interesting thing is to discover why each is beneficial for
a particular set of services. This might lead to a new, more useful,
callout or an understanding of where each is useful.

Hi,
regarding the recent discussions on ICAP and SOAP, I thought that it
might be interesting to take a closer look at the performance of both
protocols.
Is anybody aware of such a performance evaluation that does already
exist? Is there a SOAP over BEEP implementation that could be used for
testing purposes? If not, I would like to evaluate the Lucent ICAP
impelementation and the EASYSOAP SOAP implementation. Both are similar
in that they are written in C/C++ and can be compiled using gcc and that
they may be run on the same linux box. Any comments, suggestions, hints
are greatly appreciated.
