Multipart MIME (was: RE: Wouter Cloetens as Committer)

[Wouter Cloetens <wc...@raleigh.ibm.com>]

Thanks for pointing that out Kevin, having a look now.

It looks like they decided to make the content-id prefix lower case ("cid" instead of "CID"), 
like my implementation already does.

I'm scratching my head about the content-location alternative now. It was in the original 
specification. I skipped that bit, but it doesn't seem hard to implement.

My implementation currently does not cover references to absolute URLs, but I don't 
think that's a high priority. (Seems like a bit of a security hole to me anyway - send a 
message to a server and then get that server to hit a URL, or hijack a server and get its 
clients to hit URLs. Great way for a DDoS attack to mask its origin).

bfn, Wouter
