Title: WSDL 1.1 HTTP Binding Support
Category: documentation

## HTTP Binding

Since version [1.2](getting-ode.html), ODE supports [HTTP Binding](http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_http). ODE is almost fully compliant with the WSDL 1.1 spec. The few limitations are  related to MIME types.
Actually only the following [MIME types](http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/) are supported:
1. Media types that represent [XML MIME entities](http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt). Basically any types matching `"text/xml"`, `"application/xml"` and `"\*+xml"`.
1. Non-XML types will be processed as Text, thus Text Media Types comes de facto but they may have a very limited set of usages.

[mime:multipartRelated](http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_mime:multipartRelated), [mime:soap:body](http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_mime:soap:body) and [mime:mimeXml](http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_mime:mimeXml) are not supported.

Considering how unsuitable WSDL 1.1 HTTP Binding is for a large majority of services -- especially RESTful services -- a set of extensions is available.
All the details you want to know are [here](/extensions/wsdl-11-extensions-for-rest.html).
