Hi,
I was under the impression that multipart/mixed used MIME and MIME allowed
transparent transfer of binary data (versus say XML). Then today I ran
across
http://www.pcnineoneone.com/howto/ftp1.html which says "your file is
encoded as text in the data stream, and converted back to binary on your
end. The encoding adds considerable overhead to the transmission."
Huh? It sounds to me like he's implying that MIME requires base64 encoding.
So who is right? Does MIME transfer binary data with or without encoding?
Thank you,
Gili
