Does SOAP protocol assure data transmit?
-
Threre Is a ASP.NET Web Service I want to use the SOAP protocol to call this web sites. I use the gsoap middware to call the Web Service. When calling the web service, if the network is stopped and then comeback, does the soap protocol can assure the data is transmited just as the TCP/IP protocol. Another question, how to count the data bytes when use the TCP/IP protocol or use the SOAP protocol?

In OSI model, SOAP protocol is not on the same layer as IP/TCP. IP/TCP is a transform layer, serving the SOAP protocal. In another word, your SOAP may be based on the IP/TCP transform layer, just like HTTP is based on IP/TCP or other protocols on the transport layer.
