Abstract

A protocol is provided for communicating data between two applications. The protocol can support communication of an extensible markup language (XML) document over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) by associating the XML document with a data envelope and sending the data envelope to a disparate application. The data envelope can comprise a header, which can specify supported compression methods, encryption keys, and/or data specific to the disparate application and/or the sending application. The protocol adds a layer of security to the communication and can prevent malicious requests and other attacks. This protocol can also be used in conjunction with a health integration network.
