Bringing SOAP to Flash 5
Flash 5 has support for XML communications over HTTP. However, sadly enough, there is no support for setting HTTP headers. The 'SOAPAction' HTTP header is however essential if you want to communicate with SOAP-compliant webservices. And what is very popular these days ? Yes, SOAP-based webservices... And why are they popular ? Because they allow you to access business logic functionalities (for example doing a query to retrieve flight availability or the wheather in your city or live stock quotes or ...) over the Internet in a structured form (in other words without having to do screen- or HTML- scraping).
