Hi everyone, apologies if this is not the right group for this posting,
please feel free to send me elsewhere.
I currently have a web service that receives very simple data (a comma
delimited string). This is working nicely.
The problem I am having is that the headers that encapsulate the data
are so much larger than the data itself. Our clients will be sending
data from remote areas using mobile phone type modems (not my area of
expertise) where the cost is very much dependant on the amount of data
that is being sent. We need to send one string every 2 minutes or so,
and if we need to encapsulate the data inside the SOAP header then this
will lead to data bills 10-20 times higher than if just the string
could be sent to an IP:port address.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could do this? I'm looking
at asynchronous server sockets, but compared to a web service it's just
messy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Thanks
Mitch
