I did ask for this thread to be general. No problem if you
want to discuss your (least) favourite protocols here,
but please change the subject line...
Thanks

Are they related ? I had the vague impression that BEEP is
a way to multiplex one TCP-connection, and SOAP is a kind of
RPC with XML over http-post (and other bindings). Not the
same layer, different problems => different solutions (?)
Frank,
You are right. They solve two different problems. In fact, I believe
one of the bragging points about SOAP (other than it can defeat your
firewalls and snooker your security admins) is that it can be run over
various transfer protocols, such as that defined in RFC 3288. If great
harm can come from using SOAP as intended, that says more about SOAP
than it does BEEP.
