How SOAP request reaches Web service?

A SOAP request is typically sent over HTTP or HTTPS from a client to a web service. The client constructs the SOAP message, which is an XML document, and encapsulates it within an HTTP request, including appropriate headers like "Content-Type." The request is then transmitted over the network to the web service's endpoint URL. Upon arrival, the web service processes the SOAP message, extracts the relevant data, and executes the corresponding operation before sending back a SOAP response.
