The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Multiple Attachments for EDI-INT' (draft-meadors-multiple-attachments-ediint-14.txt) as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Pete Resnick. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-meadors-multiple-attachments-ediint/ Technical Summary The EDI-INT AS1, AS2 and AS3 messages 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. Working Group Summary This is not a WG document. It was originally submitted as an Independent Submission to RFC Editor, but after a discussion between the author, sponsoring AD and ISE it was decided that it is suitable for the IETF stream. Document Quality There are at least 8 different implementations of this extension. Personnel Pete Resnick is the Responsible Area Director.
