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?
I don't know if this is true of all SOAP implementations or not, but one such I was looking at was cSOAP (csoap.sourceforge.net), written in C. It has built in client/server functions, it uses nanohttp as it's base for it's use of the http protocol. Seems rather simple to setup based on the examples in their documentation.
