I have to decide on the appropriate wire protocoal to use when designing an
XML web service. the web service i have developed will be deployed inside
the corporate firewall, while the clients will be located on both sides of
the perimeter. But no additional ports can be opened in the firewall
configuration to allow windows to windows native communication. any suhhest
the protocols to be used in this application?
thx

HTTP, which is the "default" protocol for webservices anways. HTTP can easily
cross firewalls using proxies or other.
