XMLP WG Issue 342 Resolution

Mike,

The XML Protocol (XMLP) WG has decided to close issue 342 [1], which you
originated, with the following resolution.

Issue 342 is a DUPLICATE of issue 224 [2]. WG resolved issue 224 by adding
the following paragraph to section 7.5.1.2 "Requesting" near Table 17,

"Table 17 details the transitions that take place when a requesting SOAP
node receives an HTTP status line and response headers. Table 17 refers to
some but not all of the existing HTTP/1.1 [RFC 2616] status codes. In
addition to these status codes, HTTP provides an open-ended mechanism for
supporting status codes defined by HTTP extensions (see [RFC 2817] for a
registration mechanism for new status codes). HTTP status codes are divided
into status code classes as described in [RFC 2616], section 6.1.1. The SOAP
HTTP binding follows the rules of any HTTP application which means that an
implementation of the SOAP HTTP binding must understand the class of any
status code, as indicated by the first digit, and treat any unrecognized
response as being equivalent to the x00 status code of that class, with the
exception that an unrecognized response must not be cached"


We trust that this resolution satisfies your concern. If not, please
contact the WG asap.
