HTTP Headers and SOAP
Two types of headers are available in HTTP: request headers and response headers. When you are using your Web browser to surf the Internet, each time you navigate to a new URL the Web browser will create a request and send it to the Web server. These requests are written in plain text; each has headers in a standard format. When creating SOAP messages, you will be adding additional information to these standard formats. HTTP servers generate a response message upon receiving the client request. This message contains a status line and response headers. Let's look at the two headers in more detail.
