Howie,

SOAP - is a very convoluted thing.  We exchange data using XML files 
with HTTP/HTTPS protocols.  We have developed schema for the XML docs 
and have  built this exchange for our customers to be able to send files.

We are not a registered application since this is not public data, so we 
were able to eliminate some of the crazier stuff, but you will find that 
most programmers have only the buzz word, they have software that will 
generate files and they do not understand what it is or what it requires.

Since my customer is the Data Server, we defined how we wanted it all to 
work, a blessing.

Most customers call this exchange SOAP, but all they want to do is 
exchange with HTTP protocols.

Enjoy,

I see filePro is going to attempt to "simplify" these functions, but I 
have my reservations.
