 Currently ,ethereal does not support Soap protocol. Why?


SOAP is implemented, at least as I read

	http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part0-20030624/

as a media type atop HTTP.
Nobody's added to the "text media" dissector a call to register "application/soap+xml" as a media type that should be shown as raw text. Perhaps none of the people who've added stuff to that dissector had dealt with SOAP-based Web services and needed something to show the XML text of SOAP requests and responses.
I've checked in a change to do that; that means it'll show the text, line by line.
