Re: Comparison of ICAP and SOAP

My, that's pithy.

Many involved in the development of SOAP acknowledge the limitations
of using HTTP. However, SOAP is being designed to allow multiple
bindings underneath, not just HTTP; HTTP is only the chartered
transport for the 'core' WG. Most anticipate that HTTP will only be
used for relatively simple applications, while more business critical
uses will be transported across things like BEEP or DIME-over-TCP.

seems like SOAP's first problem is layering on top of HTTP .

once you make that choice, it's downhill from there.
