I'm writing code to handle binary files. I'm following the specifications recommended use of the nt:file and nt:resource node types. Perhaps just because it's there, I'm trying to do wrap my head around what I could be doing with the encoding attribute. But I clearly am lacking some info:
1) This would only apply to text files, correct? And it would mostly apply to enabling applications trying to work with those text files the ability to process the "upper" characters, the ones that differ between the various encodings. Is this accurate? 2) And then, my conclusion is that this encoding property would most likely be used in scenarios in which the binary file was being processed or created in the code, as opposed to entering the system as a file upload? This isn't a part of a multipart request's info, as far as I know, though I have not read that RFC in more than a few months ;)
