A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Multiple Attachments for EDI-INT
Author(s) : K. Meadors
Filename : draft-meadors-multiple-attachments-ediint-01.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2005-8-19
The EDIINT AS1, AS2 and AS3 message were designed specifically for
the transport of EDI documents. Since multiple interchanges could be
placed within a single EDI document, there was not a need for sending
multiple EDI documents in a single message. As adoption of EDI-INT
grew, other uses developed aside from single EDI document transport.
Some transactions required multiple attachments to be interpreted
together and stored in a single message. This informational draft
describes how multiple documents, including non-EDI payloads, can be
attached and transmitted in a single EDI-INT transport message. The
attachments are stored within the MIME Multipart/Related structure. A
minimal list of content-types to be supported as attachments is
provided.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-meadors-multiple-attachments-ediint-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
