title: SOAP Envelope Size
body: <p>I'll ask the question first, and then give some background:
  <strong>Does anyone know if the SOAP Envelope Size is calculated including the headers, or just the content outside of the tags?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Content-Length includes the header information, but I can't assume that Content-Length = Envelope Size. The SOAP specification doesn't seem to address the Envelope Size, and I'm starting to worry that it's a "Up to the implementer" kind of thing.</p>
  
  <p>Any answers or leads would be great.</p>
