Hi all.

I am using SOAP from IE. However I do not want the round trip of
retrieving a WSDL before I can make a SOAP call in the browser, which
the IE webservice.htc seems to demand.

My services are not independantly exposed, I control the IE JavaScript
development and server side development. I am implementing simple
lookups - why should I have to pull back the WSDL and incur a
performance penalty?

So my question - how can I use the web service behvaiour to make a SOAP
call without needing a WSDL?

Regards,
Simon.
