This may have been covered elsewhere and I missed it, but is there a concrete definition of "big chunk" that would trigger the media-type change? (Presumably, if some part of the SOAP payload is encrypted (a credit card field in a shipping invoice, say), you wouldn't advocate that the media-type be changed). Is it based on encrypting all the SOAP headers, contents of SOAP headers, envelope, etc.? \\ Eugene Kuznetsov \\ eugene@datapower.com \\ DataPower Technology, Inc.
