Is that a trend with telco's now? I received the same few months ago. > Since basically SOAP is an XML request.

I usually strip namespace and other useless tags (envelope, and what not) and I have simple XML, which can be then processed with XML tools (library functions). Also, I create SOAP requests with simple printf (or alike) functions and send it as HTTP POST. <rant> I don't understand why so many service providers uses SOAP which is bloated. While SOAP itself seems, for the moment, to be patent unencumbered, WSDL, UDDI, various security add-ons, and possibly alternate transport mechanisms are all looking questionable. ... </rant> -- Kind regards, Milan -------------------------------------------------- Arvanta, IT Security http://www.arvanta.net Please do not send me e-mail containing HTML code or documents in proprietary format (word, excel, pps and so on)
