Roger Wolter from Microsoft announced a refresh of Microsoft's SOAP Toolkit 2.0 beta 1, with fixes to "few of the more vexing bugs that have been reported thus far."

He noted that:

The download bits have been replaced but the page looks the same so just download the release again. I think it would be wise to uninstall the previous version of the toolkit to be sure that there are no upgrade issues.

Specific fixes include:

• The SoapConnector was changed to set the content-type in the HTTP header to text/xml
• The namespace handling for Soap messages was improved to allow better interoperability with other Soap implementations including the 1.0 Toolkit.
• The SoapClient ConnectorProperty and SoapConnector Property values have been expanded. The properties names for both property interfaces are the same:
• SoapServer.TraceDirectory -- when set, this enables tracing of Soap messages on the server.
