SOAP 1.1 Interface for Current Time

Bridging RFC 868 and XML-RPC 

To keep documentation simple, first read the spec for the XML-RPC interface. There's only one difference in the SOAP 1.1 interface -- instead of calling time.xmlrpc.com, you call time.soapware.org.

Request and Response 

Here's an example of a call and a response.
