What does the SOAPAction HTTP header field mean? And how to use it?

843833Mar 4 2010 — edited Mar 5 2010
After reading SOAP 1.1 specification, I still do not understand the use of SOAPAction HTTP header field. Is it the same to the Target field of HTTP header? In other words, the HTTP request will be sent to the destination which is specified as the value of SOAPAction field? If the URI which is the value of SOAPAction field is different to the Target field of HTTP header, in this scenario, which destination the HTTP request will be sent to?




Thanks a lot!
