A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Access, Searching and 
Indexing of Directories Working Group of the IETF.                         

       Title     : A MIME Content-Type for Directory Information           
       Author(s) : T. Howes
       Filename  : draft-ietf-asid-mime-direct-01.txt
       Pages     : 14
       Date      : 01/31/1996

This document defines a MIME Content-Type for holding directory 
information.  The definition is independent of any particular directory 
service.  The application/directory Content-Type is defined for holding a 
variety of basic textual directory information, for example, name, or email
address. The application/directory Content-Type can also be used as the 
root body part in a multipart/related Content-Type for handling more 
complicated situations in which non-textual information, for example, 
a photograph or sound, must be represented.                       

The application/directory Content-Type defines a general framework and 
format for holding directory information in a simple "type: value" format. 
This document also defines the procedure by which particular formats for 
carrying application-specific information within an application/directory 
Content-Type may be defined and registered, and the conventions such 
formats must follow. It is expected that other documents will be produced 
that define such formats for various applications (e.g., white pages).

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-mime-direct-01.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
