2.1 Transport

  • Article

Use of this protocol extension requires support for the underlying specifications:

  • Clients and devices implementing this protocol extension MUST be compliant with DPWS as specified in [DPWS].

  • DPWS-compliant endpoints MUST be fully compatible with the February 2006 revision of DPWS.

DPWS compliance ensures clients and device support the consistent set of protocol versions.

This protocol extension is limited to these existing messages:

  • Devices implementing this protocol extension MUST support receiving the extension in the SOAP Header of a SOAP Message with the SOAP Action http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get

  • Devices implementing this protocol extension MUST support sending a SOAP Message as a response with a length greater than 32,767 octets.

  • Clients implementing this protocol extension MUST support sending the extension in the SOAP Header of a SOAP Message with the SOAP Action http://schemas/xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get

  • Clients implementing this protocol extension MUST support receiving a SOAP Message as a response with a length greater than 32,767 octets.

Not all SOAP implementations properly support SOAP Header extensions. This support is required for use of this extension.

This extension does not define a finite boundary for the size of the SOAP Message response.
