Sterling B2B Integrator and gentran integration suite

This adapter is used for communicating with the IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator product over the HTTP protocol.

It is capable of streaming XML over HTTP connection as opposed to sending name-value pairs resulting in better performance. However, if you want to use name-value pairs you need to be on a specific GIS fix pack.
