Thread safe.  At least I hope.  And simple implementation that is
easy enough for me to maintenance.

soap4r now runs with net/http.  You can connect to server via
HTTP without http-access2.  With http-access2, you also get;
* Thread safe SOAP client
* Persistent connection (faster when multiple connection to the same server)
