Closing issue 204: SOAPAction header and "action" parameter on media type

Mark,

The XML Protocol WG [2] has decided to close issue 204 [0], which you
raised against the SOAP 1.2 specification. If the resolution outlined
below is not acceptable to you then please respond to this mail with a
detailed description of your concerns and preferably what you see not
being addressed as part of the resolution.

RESOLUTION
----------

In [1] you ask whether the WG has considered the various cache-control
directives and in particular "no-transform" and how that applies to
SOAP. The WG discussed the issue and came to the following conclusion:
Any HTTP implementation should certainly take advantage of the features
provided by HTTP [3]. However, there is nothing particularly special
about how the various cache-control directives apply to SOAP - they are
defined in an entirely orthogonal manner and so the WG didn't see a
reason for why the binding should say.

Thank you,

Henrik Frystyk Nielsen
