SOAP intermediaries must be explicitly targetted by the message (using the 'actor' attribute). In this respect, they are completely unlike the OPES model. Of course, other kinds of intermediaries (HTTP, etc.; they may even be interposed with the SOAP intermediary) may make other decisions about

Apologies for the delay in responding. I believe that Mark's summary is pretty accurate but I would add one clarification. SOAP encompasses much broader scope that iCAP. SOAP is a whole architecture for messaging; iCAP is a very simplified vectoring protocol. iCAP is a way of getting an

In a nutshell: ICAP is a means of encapsulating HTTP inside of HTTP, to allow messages to be 'vectored' from an intermediary to an ICAP server for processing, and then sent on their way. It also defines where those messages may be vectored from the intermediary. I believe that its primary
