SOAP with Attachments

SOAP with Attachments (SwA) or MIME for Web Services is the use of web services to send and receive files with a combination of SOAP and MIME, primarily over HTTP.

SwA structure

Note that SwA is not a new specification, but rather a mechanism for using the existing SOAP and MIME facilities to perfect the transmission of files using Web Services invocations.

Status

SwA is a W3C Note. It was submitted as a proposal, but it was not adopted by the W3C. Instead, MTOM is the W3C Recommendation for handling binary data in SOAP messages. With the release of SOAP 1.2 additionally the note SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature[1] was published.

gollark: But who would pay these vegans?
gollark: I've heard it said that it might be more effective for vegans/vegetarians to present not eating meat as an opportunity to do good people may not be aware of, instead of presenting eating meat as EVIL to people who're already doing it.
gollark: Apparently the cancer gets cancer and stops growing or something?
gollark: Fire extinguishers also use carbon dioxide and powder and stuff because water makes some fires worse.
