It's in the 4.3.0 code. Here's the man-page describing it:

  soap[=COLUMN];URL;SOAPMESSAGE;[expected_data_regexp|#digesttype:digest]
    Send SOAP message over HTTP. This is  identical  to  the "cont"
    test, except that the request sent to the server uses a Content-
    type of "application/soap+xml", and it also sends a "SOAPAction"
    header with the URL. SOAPMESSAGE is the SOAP message sent to the
    server. Since SOAP messages are usually XML documents, you  can
    store  this  in a separate file by specifying "file:FILENAME" as
    the SOAPMESSAGE parameter.  E.g. a test specification of
        soap=echo;http://soap.foo.bar/baz?wsdl;file:/home/foo/msg.xml;.
    will  read  the SOAP message from the file /home/foo/msg.xml and
    post it to the URL http://soap.foo.bar/bas?wsdl 

    Note that SOAP XML documents usually must  begin  with the  XML
    version line, <?xml version="1.0">
