    33  * A representation of the SOAP header

    35  * the way the application-specific content is processed by the message
       
    36  * provider. For example, transaction semantics, authentication information,

    40  * A <code>SOAPEnvelope</code> object contains an empty
       
    41  * <code>SOAPHeader</code> object by default. If the <code>SOAPHeader</code>
       
    42  * object, which is optional, is not needed, it can be retrieved and deleted
