Hi Murali,
I think this may be a bug in the mimpull API or the CXF client is
sending malformed content. My hunch is that mimepull is not ignoring
any characters before the first boundary.
Would it be possible to send the exact bytes captured by tcpmon. Then
we can use that data for a test case.
Paul.
