All Known Subinterfaces:

SOAPQueryJobResult, SOAPRemoteJob
```
public interface SOAPRequest
```
A SOAP request over HTTP. This contains a basic HTTP and SOAP client. Limitations:
- There is only limited support for namespaces. The namespaces are retrieved from the XML document, if the same prefix is used for different URI's only the last definition is valid. This also applies to the default namespace.

    Use an XPath to get a String from the response. To access the default namespace (defined by <.. xmlns="uri">) use the value specified to setDefaultNSPrefix(String). The default value is default, so to access an element in the default namespace, use default:element. For example, if the response is:
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Body> <ConversionRateResponse xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/"> <ConversionRateResult>0.5746</ConversionRateResult> </ConversionRateResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
    The result can be printed using the following XPath (assuming the defaultNSPrefix is set to default):
    System.out.println("'" + req.getResponseXPathString("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/default:ConversionRateResponse/default:ConversionRateResult") + "'");
    If defaultNSPrefix is set to 'anon':
