1.7 Versioning and Capability Negotiation

This document covers versioning issues in the following areas:

  • Supported Transports: This protocol uses SOAP 1.1, as described in section 2.1 and in [SOAP1.1].

  • Protocol Versions: This protocol specifies only one WSDL port type version.  The WSDL version of the request is identified by using the RequestServerVersion element, as described in [MS-OXWSCDATA] section 2.2.3.9, and the version of the server responding to the request is identified by using the ServerVersionInfo element, as described in [MS-OXWSCDATA] section 2.2.3.10.

  • Security and Authentication Methods: This protocol relies on the Web server that is hosting it to perform authentication.

  • Localization: This protocol includes text strings in various messages.

  • Capability Negotiation: This protocol does not support version negotiation.
