Details on the InterSystems IRIS Binary SOAP Format

The API for binary SOAP is different from XML SOAP as follows:

For the InterSystems IRIS server:
- Binary SOAP is denoted by the presence of the ISCSoap HTTP header.
- The Initialize() method of the web service is not called.
- A normal %request.Content stream is used in the initial implementation.
- Login is via IRISUsername and IRISPassword query parameters attached to the URL. No login page is ever returned for binary SOAP.
- If an invalid login occurs, then an instance of %SOAP.FaultOpens in a new tab is returned.
For %Net.HttpRequestOpens in a new tab responses:
- A binary SOAP request is indicated by setting the SoapBinary property of the web client class for the method being called.
- The request is sent using a normal EntityBody stream.
- The response is returned in the Data property of HttpResponse.
