Re: how bad is soap?

[Larry Menten <lmenten@lucent.com>]

I agree.

We have implemented a very compact soap server within a network element
to verify that this can be done in a small device.  It was not difficult to
create a very small but robust server in C++ that could handle multiple 
requests
simultaneously and be integrated safely into a SOHO router or similar 
device.
