In my mind that binding is orthogonal > to the existing SOAP binding; do you see it differently? I see it differently. It is very important that we not be forced to ues GET-in/SOAP-out or GET-in/XML-out or POST/XML-in/XML-out for an *entire service*. Different ways of using HTTP are not new protocol bindings. They are part of a single logical binding: SOAP over HTTP. GET and POST are part of the same protocol, not two different protocols. A WSDL service should therefore bind some of its operations to one and some to another, not bind ALL to one and then ALL to the other as two different bindings. If I have a stock buying and selling service, getStockQuote should use GET. buyStock should use POST. In the same binding SOAP/HTTP or "pure HTTP" binding of the service! Paul Prescod
