RE: [provision] FW: I-D ACTION:draft-liu-epp-soap-00.txt

[Jeff Bohren <jbohren@opennetwork.com>]

I don't think this is as similar to the SPML work as it sounds. From
what I understand, this standard is for communication from domain name
registrars to multiple domain name registries for "provisioning" DNS
entries. Other than the use of the word "provisioning" and possibly the
use of an attribute/value model over SOAP, I don't see any similarity
between this and SPML.

This was just published as an Internet-Draft with the IETF.  There are
people there working on things that sounds pretty similar to SPML.

See http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-liu-epp-soap-00.txt for
details.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


	Title		: Extensible Provisioning Protocol Over SOAP
	Author(s)	: H. Liu et al.
	Filename	: draft-liu-epp-soap-00.txt
	Pages		: 24
	Date		: 2002-9-26
	
This memo documents a proposal for exchanging EPP (Extensible
Provisioning Protocol) messages as XML documents between a client and a
server via SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), using the SOAP
request/response communication model. An EPP message is encapsulated in
the SOAP Body, while the EPP session information is encoded in the SOAP
header, enabling EPP session-oriented messaging over the SOAP protocol.
It is designed to work on top of any transport bindings defined for
SOAP, taking advantage of the variety of SOAP software tools and
environments available for web services.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
