The options above allow a choice of transport protocol - either TCP or HTTP & listening port number,
and the payload language - SOAP, Transact-SQL, service broker or database mirroring.

Key:

AUTHORIZATION - A valid SQL Server or Windows login that is assigned ownership of the newly created endpoint object.

STATE - The state of the endpoint when it is created, to change, use ALTER ENDPOINT

PATH = 'url' - For a URL like http://Server01/Folder02, The Path URL is /Folder02

SITE = webSite a specific host name for the computer.
SITE = + all possible host names for the computer.
SITE = * all possible host names for the computer that are not otherwise explicitly reserved.

COMPRESSION - If enabled, SQL Server will honor requests where gzip encoding is accepted.

BATCHES - Support for ad hoc SQL requests on the endpoint.

LOGIN_TYPE - SQL or WINDOWS authentication.

SESSIONS - If ENABLED, multiple SOAP request/response message pairs can be identified as part of a single SOAP session.

SESSION_TIMEOUT - Time in Seconds before a SOAP session expires.

NAMESPACE - The namespace for the endpoint. The default is http://tempuri.org

HEADER_LIMIT - Max size, in bytes, of the SOAP envelope header.

ENCRYPTION - Negotiate for an encryption algorithm, AES RC4 = give preference to AES while RC4 AES = give preference to RC4.

The default clear port number is 80, the default SSL port number is 443.
Listener port = any number between 1024 and 32767, by convention, 4022.
