Honestly, I am more interested in the new WS-JMX connector, which is
based on Wiseman and JAX-WS. That is because I am looking to manage
Metro/JAX-WS web services and a connector based on JAX-WS feels just
right in that case. :-) The HTTP/S connector could be an option for
people that e.g. don't want the complexity of web services and need to
deal with HTTP proxies. But we don't have any concrete requests for
that kind of thing and most HTTP proxies deal with SOAP messages just
fine. In other words, the interest is probably not sufficient.

It would be good to stick a creation date on that page.
