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.

Subject: Reading MimeBodyPart using MS SOAP


> 
> We have a document-style web service server using Apache SOAP and client using

> As response, this web service returns a MimeBodyPart (not a soap envelop). We are

>  *Reader.Load Connector.OutputStream *  fails since it expects response in xml

> Can this be done using MS soap? Any help is very much appreciated?
