I got this when trying to access the link:

--------------- Application Error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. ---------------

That page must be using SOAP! :-)

Ah, thank you for letting us know, I will look into it.

SOAP is dead! Long live REST!

SOAP still exists?

UPnP is based on SOAP

TIL!

That's interesting (And scary).

There are many companies that use SOAP for historical reasons or because "it's business-ready as it uses XML" (I've really heard this one, trust me).

does any major consumer service use SOAP?

Business Catalyst offers a SOAP api. Whether or not that counts as a 'major consumer service' I don't know, but by extension any site built on the platform uses it as well.

A lot of military systems still use SOAP.
