The SOAP 1.1 specification says this about the HTTP SOAPAction header;
The SOAPAction HTTP request header field can be used to indicate the
intent of the SOAP HTTP request. The value is a URI identifying the intent.
SOAP places no restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI or that
it is resolvable. An HTTP client MUST use this header field when issuing a
SOAP HTTP Request.
The presence and content of the SOAPAction header field can be used by
servers such as firewalls to appropriately filter SOAP request messages in
HTTP. The header field value of empty string ("") means that the intent of
the SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI. No value means that
there is no indication of the intent of the message.
