Just found a 5 and a half years old snippet re. SOAP back in 1999. This is very funny to read. And of course Mr. Dave Winer has to talk about XML-RPC, too.

Now I can recall why a lot of people still think SOAP and Web services is just a modern form of DCOM.

Those were the days where we had this great project and implemented our own (quite limited, though) SOAP stack for Solaris and used the SOAP Toolkit 1.0 Technology Preview for coding the SOAP layer on Windows in C++ and COM. Ahhhh...

But this definitely is a historical piece.
