What is HTTP SOAP ?

Hi,

This article states the following in relation to ASP.NET default test
harness web pages.

"These test pages can be used to invoke your WebMethods, but the test
harness does this by making HTTP POST requests to the server rather than
HTTP SOAP requests. SoapExtensions only work with SOAP requests, and thus
any requests to your Web service made using the default test page will
result in your extensions not being used."

Is this a typo because I can't seem to find anything out about HTTP SOAP. If
I want my SOAP extensions to alwyas run, do I have to disable HTTP POST
request?
Thanks,
Andy

HTTP-Post is when the Content-Type of the data-submitted to the server is:

"applicatio n/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Whereas HTTP-SOAP is the popular web-service thing where the Content-Type is
"text/xml" and the content given to the server is a SOAP Message.
Note that for both of these things, the "POST" method of the HTTP protocol
is used.

Thanks for that. It kind of makes sense to me but I still don't understand
exactly what Content-Type means. Also, what is defining HTTP-SOAP? As I
understand it SOAP should know nothing of HTTP and HTTP nothing of SOAP. Is
there some kind of extensibility mechanism in HTTP at play here?Can you
recommend a link or book which describes these things because the
information I have found doesn't seem too great.

Regards,

Andy

Hi,
Thanks for that. It kind of makes sense to me but I still don't understand
exactly what Content-Type means. Also, what is defining HTTP-SOAP? As I
'd suggest to search on google for "applicatio n/x-www-url-encoded" and you
may get a lot more idea.
At the same time, I'll also ensure that I do find some time in next couple
of days to prepare a small introductory article on the same.
You may want to subscribe to the webservices blog given below ;-)

understand it SOAP should know nothing of HTTP and HTTP nothing of SOAP.

There's no need for any book.
Just a simple understanding of the HTTP protocol would suffice.

Or if you can, have patience till the weekend to the latest... you should
surely get something from me. :-)

Hi Andy,

You can disable HTTP Handler in the webservice. You can only alow "SOAP
Handler" which will disable the HTTP Post and HTTP Get. Please open the
webservice project file in a notepad and see the handlers.

For more information please go through the documentation of WSE 2.0 OR WSE
3.0.

Thanks.

Hi, As was pointed out whatever you return from a WebMethod needs to be serializable to SOAP. An ArrayList is not serializable. I will be needing to return other data types from web methods.
