Abstract
An IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network provides access to Web services. A HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) message addressed to a Web Service Provider along with the IMS identifier from a device is received in the IMS network. The IMS network validates registration of the device. The IMS identifier and the HTTP message are communicated to the Web Service Provider. A Web service is conveyed from the Web Service Provider to the device.
