Direct Internet Message Encapsulation




According to the IETF web site, the standard has been withdrawn and never made RFC status.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. By December 2003, DIME had lost out, in competition with Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism and SOAP With Attachments 1, and Microsoft now describes it as "superseded by the SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) specification"2

The standard was supposed to be a simplified version of MIME (see {Link without Title} ).
