But strangling SOAP is a bit difficult. If you just put a proxy in front of a SOAP service, you’ll quickly bump into a painful detail: SOAP typically exposes a single HTTP endpoint. All operations share one path, and the actual method is picked using headers like <code>SOAPAction</code> or <code>action</code> and the body contents. That makes the usual reverse‑proxy trick an &ldquo;all or nothing&rdquo; mechanism. Not at all a Strangler Fig approach. But there is a way!</p>
