I made a mistake in my message to the list. I was reading from the  
JAX RPC spec from Sun, which does require HTTP 1.1. 

That leaves me with the original problem of trying to use Apache 
SOAP as a client to make a request over HTTP/1.1 protocol. I'll look 
into the constants file as was previously posted as a reply 
message. And then I'll post my findings here.

Re: HTTP 1.1 Protocol for SOAP requests:

/*Here is the relevant text for HTTP Extensions from W3C*/

http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/#_Toc478383530

A SOAP message MAY be used together with the HTTP Extension 
Framework [6] in order to identify the presence and intent of a 
SOAP HTTP request. 

Whether to use the Extension Framework or plain HTTP is a 
question of policy and capability of the communicating parties. 
Clients can force the use of the HTTP Extension Framework by 
using a mandatory extension declaration and the "M-" HTTP 
method name prefix. Servers can force the use of the HTTP 
Extension Framework by using the 510 "Not Extended" HTTP 
status code. That is, using one extra round trip, either party can 
detect the policy of the other party and act accordingly. 

/*Thus the Server can DEMAND the HTTP Extension Framework 
request from client*/

/*Here is the relevant RFC (2774) from W3C.*/

  The proposal uses features in HTTP/1.1 but is compatible with
   HTTP/1.0 applications in such a way that extended applications 
can
   coexist with existing HTTP applications. Applications 
implementing
   this proposal MUST be based on HTTP/1.1 (or later versions of 
HTTP).
