Websites and web portals that provide web services commonly use the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Which of the following is an incorrect definition or characteristics of the protocol?
A.
Exchanges data between web services
B.
Only compatible with the application protocol HTTP
Types of Web Services - SOAP web services
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) defines the XML format. XML is used to transfer data between the service provider and the requester. It also determines the procedure to build web services and enables data exchange between different programming languages.
# SOAP is XML-based and can support HTTP(S)/TCP/UDP, not only HTTP. (P.1737/1721)
Te question is "Which of the following is an incorrect definition or characteristics of the protocol?".
So what is the "incorrect definition or characteristic of the protocol"?
The protocol use XML, and not only working with HTTP, so thats why i think the correct answer would be "B".

Answer: D
Answer is B: Only Compatible with the application protocol HTTP.
As you can see below, SOAP uses both HTTP and HTTPS; so that means the answer cannot be only HTTP. I hope this helps!
"What is SOAP protocol How it works?
SOAP is a transport-agnostic messaging system; SOAP requests and responses travel using HTTP, HTTPS, or some other transport mechanism. ... A SOAP client sends the XML document to a SOAP server. This SOAP request is posted using HTTP or HTTPS to a SOAP Request Handler running as a servlet on a Web server."
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a lightweight, XML-based protocol for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment. By combining SOAP-based requests and responses with a transport protocol, such as HTTP, the Internet becomes a medium for applications to publish database-backed Web services, such as:
Restaurant listings: Which sushi bars are within five blocks of the Geary Theatre?
Car dealer inquiries: What California dealers have a denim blue Audi TT coupe in stock?
Financial information requests: What stocks in my portfolio are below their 50-day average?
Ticket bookings: What are the two best seats available for Miss Saigon next week?
B is correct
