Re: Revised Asynch Binding

Hi JJ,

I agree he's using it twice in sequence. However, the way I read the
SOAP/HTTP binding it very clearly states that the response message
of the SOAP MEP comes in the HTTP response. Are you saying that is
not the case?

In any case, I find it surprising that people will consider using
two SOAP MEPs the natural solution to this when the approach of a
single SOAP MEP bound differently to HTTP works just fine. That's
*precisely* the reason SOAP separated the protocol MEPs from how
they're bound to transport (or, ahem, transfer) protocols AFAIK!
