In fact the standard requires an exchanges of SOAP messages over http
(over TCP connections) with a server. So that's why I choosed to use
libcurl for my program. In a later version of the standard, It's
required to send http messages over UDP some times for notification
purposes. Now I want to use the same stack (libcurl) to send HTTP
messages over UDP
