Direct Internet Message Encapsulation
From Free net encyclopedia
Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) is a Microsoft-proposed internet standard for the transfer of binary and other encapsulated data over SOAP.
According to the IETF web site, the standard has been withdrawn and never made RFC status. However, Microsoft currently does recommend DIME for transmitting files via Web services.
The first version was submitted to the IETF in November 2001; the last update was submitted in June 2002. The effort seems to not have been pursued after that.
The standard was supposed to be a simplified version of MIME (see [1]).
