Do Groove Web Services really need a local web server? Wouldn’t it be better to do SOAP over standard input and standard output when you just need to integrate on a single machine? [matt.griffith] Well, I’ve yet to see a SOAP toolkit that doesn’t ship with a HTTP transport, whilst SOAP::Lite it the only one i know that ships with stdin/out support. In addition certain platforms (*cough*cough* asp.net), are overly tied to HTTP.
Localhost web services, here we come!
