Hi Nenad,
This could assume that http is the default transport
mechanism, and we could supply a refinement for alternatives
eg google/goGetCachedPage/smtp [ .. ]
and one of the reasons I prefer 'to-soap is that 'read is a
native, and already overloaded. And if we use a mezzanine
function, we can proceed regardless of what RT do, whereas
'read requires assistance from RT.
But, if you really want to use 'read
google: to-soap read soap://api.google.com/GoogleSeach.wsdl
