RE: NetConf over SOAP normative reference issue



Hi,

Andy - thanks for that direct link to the SOAP/1.1 and 
SOAP/1.2 differences list in the SOAP/1.2 Primer.

WG - please note that the bottom line is that a SOAP/1.1 
receiver will NOT interoperate with a SOAP/1.2 sender
(the serializations are different, key attributes are
renamed, etc.).

There may be an update planned for RFC 3288, but no I-D
has been posted, so it won't be timely for NetConf.

New dumb questions  Does NetConf even need BEEP?  
Why not use a WebDAV-like binding over HTTP/1.1?

Cheers,
- Ira

I don't remember this being discussed by the WG

It's an issue that needs to be addressed. 
Here are the differences between SOAP 1.1 and 1.2:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part0-20030624/#L4697

Are there any differences that impact NETCONF?

It doesn't seem like we can remove reference [16] (RFC 3288)
without removing all of section 2.6.  Is there an update
planned for SOAP over BEEP?
