NOTE: 

The double question marks ("??") after the attributes in the whttp namespace indicates that those optional attributes only make sense if the when the SOAP binding uses HTTP as the underlying protocol, i.e. when the value of the wsoap:protocol attribute is http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/.
