Yikes! Bruce Schneier, Cryptogram Newsletter: "Implementation of Microsoft SOAP, a protocol running over HTTP precisely so it could bypass firewalls, should be withdrawn.". You gotta be kidding me. Wonder how the rest of the SOAP community feels about this? [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog] I've lost count of the number of times I've heard SOAP is evil because it runs over port 80 to avoid firewall / security, etc. I've yet to see any explanation of why this is such a terrible thing for SOAP, yet for CGI / ASP / JSP, etc its perfectly fine.

Hmmm, so it looks like there's going to be a lot of tests to run, I need a decent test framework to handle this. Lets see, for each test area [there's 9] there's an average of 6 tests. For each test, there's a run against each server for the pre-defined WSDL, then a run against each server for each servers re-gen'd WSDL. This gives 9 x 6 x [# servers + 1], there's 6 servers already, and i'm guessing at least another 6 to go up, givin 9 x 6 x 13 = 702 individual tests !
