Hi all!

Please note in this discussion that there definitely are use cases where the addressing handlers WILL be encrypted. The addressing WG specifically discussed the idea that some users won't want information such as the URL of the wsa:Action to be snoopable on the wire. This is one of the reasons that the wsa:Action/soapAction relationship was specified the way it was.

We don't know whether this will become a common usage or not, but I think we shouldn't completely rely on the fact that Addressing will *always* be happening before decryption. If security is enabled globally, this shouldn't be a problem, and even if it's enabled/configured on a service/operation level, that just means we need to do the dispatch using something like the transport URL, or another accessible piece of information, before decrypting.

Clearly there are a lot of moving parts, and a lot of valid combinations. As long as a combination is coherent and makes all the information needed at each phase available, we should be able to support it.

I think David's call for use cases is perhaps the next thing we should deal with, and I'd put forth "entire message including wsa headers is encrypted, dispatch to service happens via URL".

Thanks,
--Glen
