MIME Types for Use with the ISO ILL Protocol
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 2503 ISO ILL Protocol MIME Types February 1999
Required Parameter: transfer-encoding
For BER-encoded PDU's or DDI's, the only current legal value of this
parameter is:
iso-8825-ber
The transfer-encoding parameter describes the way the PDU has been
encoded before being submitted to the transport service (in this case
MIME/RFC 822). The two protocols described in this RFC specify their
APDU's using ASN.1 (ISO 8824:1990) and the most common way of
encoding ASN.1 packets is to use the Basic Encoding Rules (BER ISO
8825)
The parameter is included to allow future use of these MIME types
with other encoding schemes. As an example, the ISO 10161 standard
also describes an encoding method using EDIFACT. In the future, other
schemes might also be employed. (Since the EDIFACT encoding is not
currently in use amongst the ISO 10161 and DDI communities, a value
for the transfer-encoding parameter to describe it is not being
registered in this RFC.)
Optional parameter: iso-10161-apdu-type
