And I just verified that with TCP monitor, by submitting a 4MB MP3 file to my server. [ I am running Axis1.1beta with the new attachment cleanup code in place, BTW. ] In terms of bytes consumed, MIME uses less than DIME, which breaks everything up into fixed size packets; more overhead. But with mime the recipient needs to scan the incoming stream for a boundary, which may or may not be load. Clearly, therefore, the choice of DIME vs MIME is hard to make on 'efficiency' alone; there are other factors like -what your recipients handle -what patents MS has applied for on DIME (who knows?) -what your tools prefer. Axis server, of course, handles DIME or MIME from the same endpoint; the caller gets to choose. -steve POST http://ranier:8080/zoo/services/zooPort HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/xml"; start="<FFFCC1C8DA927E82870A1872AB9CC2D0>"; boundary="----=_Part_0_29336531.1043789532562" Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/* User-Agent: Axis/1.1beta Host: ranier:8080 Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache SOAPAction: "capeconnect:zorro:zorroPortType#SubmitSimpleJob" Content-Length: 4895183 ------=_Part_0_29336531.1043789532562 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: <FFFCC1C8DA927E82870A1872AB9CC2D0> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <soapenv:Body> <ns1:SubmitSimpleJob soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns1="http://zoo/binding";> <owner_email xsi:type="xsd:string">steve_loughran</owner_email> <job_name xsi:type="xsd:string">Chemical Brothers - Pioneer Skies</job_name> <filenames href="#id0"/> </ns1:SubmitSimpleJob> <multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xsi:type="ns2:StringArray" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns2="http://ranier:8080/zoo/dtds/zoo.xsd";> <elt xsi:type="xsd:string">Chemical Brothers - Pioneer Skies.mp3</elt> </multiRef> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ------=_Part_0_29336531.1043789532562 Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: <6B3C9AF24F73861B87AB16308463AD32> *here begins binary* ID3....
