Winer comments about SOAP and firewalls

Back to scripting. I've heard a lot of people say that SOAP was designed to circumvent firewalls. In fact, that wasn't one of the goals for SOAP. We chose HTTP because it was broadly supported in scripting environments, and we wanted the lowest possible barrier to adoption. It was also done with respect, don't reinvent something that already works. You can pick up the trail, starting in the goals section of the XML-RPC spec. We knew some people would say that firewall circumvention was our motive, we talked about it, and used HTTP anyway, because it was a good match for what we wanted to do. [Scripting News]
