Re: Use of MIME multipart for zero payload containers


It's always MIME. The media type is either multipart/related with a type attribute of text/xml or it is text/xml. No sniffing required. It should be noted that the issue of whether SOAP1.2 should adopt application/xml, application/soap or application/soap+xml is currently raging[1] again. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2001Sep/0085.html Hopefully, we'll settle on application/soap or application/soap+xml;-) Cheers, Chris Scott Hinkelman wrote: > > There has always been that concern in my mind that if it is not always > MIME, then your endpoint code may have to sniff the message to determine if > it is pure SOAP or a MIME. no? > > Scott Hinkelman, Senior Software Engineer > XML Industry Enablement > IBM e-business Standards Strategy > 512-823-8097 (TL 793-8097) (Cell: 512-940-0519) > [email protected], Fax: 512-838-1074 > > "Burdett, David" <[email protected]> on 09/20/2001 09:04:59 AM > > To: "'Dan Weinreb'" <[email protected]>, [email protected] > cc: [email protected], "Burdett, David" <[email protected]>, > [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected] > Subject: RE: Use of MIME multipart for zero payload containers > > Can we have a firm proposal from one of our "SOAP experts" on what we > should > do to fix this issue as there seem to be several alternatives ... > > Regards > > David > >
