Nice to see some action on ALFS again even if I'm mostly talking to myself besides Jeremy and Thomas :)

SOAP was suggested again (by Thomas). I know next to nothing about SOAP so can anybody give a real quick answer to this simple question:

Doe SOAP itself take care of client/server stuff? Ie., will it establish a connection to an IP address and what not, or is that up to the programmer to figure out and simple call SOAP routines to send/receive stuff from the network socket or whatever it's called?

Some time ago I was given a book by Addison-Wesley (a book publisher -- they do a lot of programming books) called "UNIX Network Programming." I never had a reason to look at it, but it seems the time has come to figure it out. This book is basically the UNIX network programming Bible. I'll be doing some reading :)
