Its much more efficient than MIME. Is it really? MIME doesnt base-64 encode either, so efficiency comes down to what overhead on the wire or processing the two formats use. I havent measured the perf by hand yet, to see what wins. I dont think WSE is a good example here, as they buffer all the incoming stuff to memory, so it wont take 30MB files. also without built in Zip support, I am going to have to support both zipped and unzipped incoming stuff (because I will be zipping up those 30MB files where possible, especially if the server seems moderately distant based on the round trip time of the ping method.) Maybe I should look at gSOAP. -steve
