I see the following in the
SOAP Version 1.2 Part 0 document:
"Note, however, that if the application requires the use of features that can only have a binding-specific expression within the SOAP infoset, i.e., using SOAP header blocks, then the application must choose HTTP POST method with a SOAP message in the request body."
This seems to imply that using SOAP headers is binding-specific. I understand "binding" to mean protocols (transport layer?) like http and smtp.
Question: No matter how the data is transmited - could be http, smtp, or anything else - I can always send SOAP headers as part of the data being sent. So it does not seem to be "binding-specific", at least on the face of it. What am I not understanding here?
Any thoughts on this? Please feel free to correct me on any or all of the above, except the quote from the Part 0 document
