why is everything so over-complicated? Doesn't REST just mean that everything has an http end point? and isn't soap just plain awful? end of story?

REST means a bit more than just "everything has an HTTP endpoint"; it means everything has HTTP endpoints that behave in approximately the same way, using approximately the same conventions.

SOAP is just plain awful, though.
