> 2.) Let BodyDescriptor provide full blown access to the headers
> Currently, BodyDescriptor offers access to the content-type and
> content-transfer-encoding headers only.
> As a consequence, the mime4j user is forced to listen for T_FIELD events
> and build its own header map. This is duplicated work, in
> particular, because
> all mime4j users will likely do the same.
> I'd propose to:
> - Replace BodyDescriptor with an interface. (Assumes that this
> is possible,
> I am guessing by the version number 0.4, but I maybe wrong.)
> - Make the BodyDescriptor implementation pluggable by adding a method
> protected void newBodyDescriptor()
> to the Mime4JTokenStream.
> - Provide a default implementation that maintains a map of headers and
> values.
> - Open up the method
> private void getHeaderParams(String)
> by making it static and moving it to a utility class or by
> providing an accessor
> that takes a header name as an argument and invokes the
> method by providing
> the value as input.
> - Rename getParameters() to getContentTypeParameters(),
> because the method
> name is definitely confusing. I clearly had the impression
> that this method would
> provide the header values.
