WS-Transfer - Are We Talking HTTP Over XML Over HTTP?
I may be daft, but after reading the comments on WS-Transfer submission to the W3C, I get the feeling that WS-Transfer feels... I dunno, wrong? I know SOAP is transport independant, but a vast majority of the SOAP calls are made over HTTP, so are we talking HTTP over XML/SOAP over HTTP?
WS-Transfer is about doing resource manipulation, using HTTP-like verbs such as GET, PUT, DELETE and such. Feels like a more complex REST style of managing resources to me.
