you mention routing - if you sent soap to a host for routing then it's not 1-to-1 and must be intermediated connection, correct ?
you mean most web services are very simple sample for demo only and commerical implementations are much more complex?
and you mention "application agent" are u mening Ultimate SOAP receiver?
you mention "intermediary" is meaning same as "handler with the hosting SOAP engine." correct?

People typically use a SOAP Header to perform system-level functionality, such as authentication, session management, and routing. These functional requirements apply to both 1-to-1 and intermediated connections.
Most web services on xmethods.com do not require these system-level functions.
Typically header information is not passed to the application agent. Instead, the header is processed either by an intermediary or by a handler with the hosting SOAP engine.
