SOAP vs HTTP

[Former Member]

I am looking for the advantages of using SOAP over HTTP. I have already gone through this thread and dont think its been resolved yet. Both of them in my opinion can be used to connect web services to XI. Then what criteria should be used to decide on one over the other

SOAP is used when we need to commuincate via Webservice or remote interaction but HTTP used if some on from web needs to talk to XI server directly we use HTTP
