Summary

This chapter discussed the SOAP protocol. Specifically, you have learned how to construct RPC requests with XML and HTTP. You have also learned about other SOAP options such as using SOAP to send regular XML documents, using SOAP over SMTP, and using SOAP with attachments.

I hope this chapter has convinced you that SOAP is a technology worth studying further. In Chapter 8, you will learn how to write SOAP applications.
