Perhaps I read your e-mail incorrectly. Does the response payload contain only MIME stuff with no text/xml part that is the SOAP envelope? If it does not include a SOAP envelope, it is really not a Web service, and I would expect very few Web service clients to be able to read it.
If it has an envelope and a MIME attachment, it is a Web service. Unfortunately, although Microsoft provided two of the three authors for the SOAP Messages with Attachments (http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments), which describes the use of MIME for SOAP attachments, the MS SOAP Toolkit only supports DIME for attachments. It cannot read MIME attachments. Scott Nichol Do not send e-mail directly to this e-mail address, because it is filtered to accept only mail from specific mail lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "THOMAS, JAI [AG-Contractor/1000]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 11:20 AM Subject: Reading MimeBodyPart using MS SOAP > > We have a document-style web service server using Apache SOAP and client using > Microsoft Soap Toolkit 3.0. > As response, this web service returns a MimeBodyPart (not a soap envelop).
