DANGER

You should instead use Web Connections and Web Definitions.

A SOAP Transport is used to connect to a SOAP web service over the Internet or local network. You can receive Files from the remote SOAP web service. You configure the SOAP Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and retrieving any files that match your requirements. The Inbound Transport will always activate with a particular File Connection and it is the properties of this File Connection that determine the filter for matching files.
