-    <title>SOAP</title>
-
-    <para>With the libsoup library, GNOME provides support for the SOAP,
-    a widely-used protocol for passing XML messages over HTTP.  SOAP allows
-    developers to expose an interface over the web, which can then be used
-    by applications to retrieve information, send data, make transactions,
-    or use any number of other services provided.</para>
-
-    <para>SOAP can be used to search and retrieve information, to interact
-    with an online store, to manage users' accounts on other systems, or for
-    many other purposes.  Web services are being used more and more to provide
-    essential functionality for users, and applications using SOAP can provide
-    a more integrated and featureful user experience.</para>
-
-    <para>The libsoup library contains an HTTP implementation and a set of
-    API for constructing and consuming SOAP messages.  It also allows for
-    secure authentication, so you can use web services to access private
-    accounts over a secure connection. Using libsoup makes it easy to use
-    web services without manually parsing and interpreting the messages
-    sent through SOAP.</para>
+    <title>HTTP</title>
+
+    <para>Libsoup is an HTTP library designed to be used in graphical
+    applications which need asynchronous operations to avoid blocking the
+    user interface while network requests are going on.</para>
+
+    <para>Soup provides functionality for using HTTP cookies, SSL encrypted
+    connections, and the XML-RPC protocol based on HTTP.</para>
