I'm trying to understand the calc example by inspecting the network traffic between client and server by using the WireShark network analyser. I would expect that the client starts by sending a soap request as a HTTP GET or HTTP POST message to the server (which is running in "standalone mode"). The problem is that i cannot see this GET/POST request. I do see the soap method request "over the line", but it does not seem to be enclosed by a HTTP envelope. The response of the server looks as i would expect: a "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" message with the result of the function call in the body of the message. The example does work correctly, i do not understand why... Does it have to to with the "standalone" operation, and that it behaves different when run as a cgi program?
Can someone explain this behaviour?
