Your request looks like a standard HTTP request.  From your post, I get
the idea that the response is wrapped in a SOAP document and you have to
parse out the value.

It's evidently not quite that simple with WebSphere.  When I try your
technique to access my web server, I get the phrase:

        And now... Some Services

With WebSphere, it looks like the request has to be wrapped in SOAP as
well.  This means that I have to send an entire SOAP document (some 700
bytes of overhead) and then get back another SOAP document and parse out
the response.

It may depend on how you generate your web service.  I used type
"RPC/Literal", which I had assumed would remove most of the wrapping,
but I'm not sure.
