SOAP is actually not a great transport layer for large files. SOAP is an
XML based protocol, which essentially is just a structured text file.

If you really must use SOAP to transfer large files then you'll need to
use something like Base64 encoding and embed the file in an XML tag.

Here's a basic example:
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<submitClaim>
<accountNumber>5XJ45-3B2</accountNumber>
<eventType>accident</eventType>
<image imageType="jpg" xsi:type="base64binary">
4f3e9b0...(rest of encoded image)
</image>
</submitClaim>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notice the xsi:type="base64binary". In this example they are encoding
the JPEG binary data as base64 ASCII text.
