This Wiki has a [SOAP] source letting you grab the wiki source of a webpage. There's a [WSDL] file [describing this source | http://www.wlug.org.nz/phpwiki/soap.wsdl], and you can use [xmethods.net | http://www.xmethods.net/] to get [a human readable version of it | http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/WSDLAnalyzer.po;?wsdlurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wlug.org.nz%2Fphpwiki%2Fsoap.wsdl].
See also [AXIS].

+> ! Can I make an [IRC] chat client with [SOAP]?
+>
+> Hmm. It's possible, but everything's possible. It's completely implausible. [SOAP] manages to maintain state through sessions, but the concept of long-running transactions like an [IRC] client would require is... sickening.
+>
+> I've only ever written two [SOAP] applications. The first was “[Hello World| http://www2.latech.edu/~acm/HelloWorld.shtml]”, except it would give back a random quote from the [fortune | http://www.rt.com/man/fortune.6.html] file instead of the boring Hello.
+>
+> The second was truly diabolical. It was a tunneling proxy. It tunneled [TCP/IP]. Any [TCP/IP] whatsoever. Over [SOAP].
+>
+> Hey, I was bored.
+>
+> Anyway, I tested this proxy by connecting my [IRC] client to it. It worked perfectly, albeit rather choppily, as the stream was being broken up into lots of little [XML] documents, turned into [HTTP] requests and then being reconstituted at the other end of the tunnel.

+> And yes, it was sickening, but in a compelling, car-crash kind of way.
