Hi All, I've been thinking about some of the issues that have come up related to the use of the XmlDataLength and XmlData fields in the FIXT header, and was wondering what others think about the concept of simply adding MIME support to FIXT? Considering how easy it would be to do this, and the fact that it would add a whole new dimension to FIXT's viability as a transport protocol for financial applications, I think this would be worth doing. It would certainly create a very clean mechanism for sending just about anything over FIXT and would eliminate the need to use hacks when trying to incorporate new content, e.g. FIXML, FPLM, into FIX. What do you all think?
