HTTP Endpoints in SQL Server 2005
SQL Server 2005 ( Codenamed "Yukon" ) provides a new interesting feature to execute stores procedures or Transact-SQL statements through web services published in the server, without need to use IIS.
This new feature exposes Http endpoints using the Http Api provided in Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003.
These endpoints are published in a specific URI, and they listen for incoming soap requests, so they facilitate interoperability because any application, which talks soap, can communicate with SQL server without requiring additional sql libraries or MDAC.
