I would recommend kSOAP 2, even if that means that you would need to adopt the 
exisitng J2ME http connection to J2SE connection. If you do so, please 
contribute the J2SE connection back to the project. This would also counter the 
impression that kSOAP is a project that is no longer worked on... :)

It can probably help to make the overall size smaller, but you may need to 
exclude classes from renaming that are loaded by name (classes registered in the 
classmap)...
