Introduction SOAP version 1.2 (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol intended for exchange of structured information between peers in a decentralized, distributed environment. It defines an extensible messaging framework that contains a message construct based on XML technologies that can be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols. This specification defines the media type "application/soap+xml" which can be used to identify SOAP messages serialized with XML 1.0 carried in MIME or MIME like protocols that support the concept of media types for which a SOAP binding has been defined. 2. Registration The registration form can be found in Appendix A of the "SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts" [SOAP12P2] specification. 3. Authors' Addresses Mark A.
