If the HTTP connection were to be broken before all of the messages were processed, how does each side recover? How does the sender know which of the messages it streamed actually reached the destination safely and were actually processed to some conclusion? At the very least, the reciever would need to apply some idempotence check on the messages (I suppose using the m:id) it receives, and the sender would need to resend the entire stream/batch of the failed HTTP/POST. That seems fairly inefficient. Cheers, Chris > [2] http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/xml_wsspecs/
