Using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
in Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP)
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This memo specifies a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) binding to
the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol core (BEEP). A SOAP binding
describes how SOAP messages are transmitted in the network.
The SOAP is an XML-based (extensible markup language) messaging
protocol used to implement a wide variety of distributed messaging
models. It defines a message format and describes a variety of
message patterns, including, but not limited to, RPC, asynchronous
event notification, unacknowledged messages, and forwarding via SOAP
intermediaries.

RFC 3288 Using SOAP in BEEP June 2002
1. Introduction
This memo specifies how SOAP 1.1 envelopes[1] are transmitted using a
BEEP profile[2]. In the W3C, the XMLP effort is evolving SOAP.
Accordingly, this memo provides a mechanism for negotiating the use
of new features.
Throughout this memo, the term "envelope" refers to the "SOAP-
Env:Envelope" element defined in Section 4 of [1]. Further, the
terms "peer", "client", "server", "one-to-one", and "one-to-many" are
used in the context of BEEP. In particular, Sections 2.1 and 2.1.1
of [2] discuss BEEP roles and exchange styles.

2. BEEP Profile Identification
The BEEP profile for SOAP is identified as
http://iana.org/beep/soap
in the BEEP "profile" element during channel creation.
In BEEP, when the first channel is successfully created, the
"serverName" attribute in the "start" element identifies the "virtual
host" associated with the peer acting in the server role, e.g.,
<start number='1' serverName='stockquoteserver.example.com'>
<profile uri='http://iana.org/beep/soap' />
