A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Open Trading Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : HTTP MIME Type Handler Detection Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd, C. Smith, D. Soroka Filename : draft-ietf-trade-mime-detector-02.txt Pages : 13 Date : 08-Mar-00 Entities composing web pages to provide services over HTTP frequently have the problem of not knowing what MIME types have handlers installed at a user's browser. For example, whether an IOTP or VRML or SET or some streaming media handler is available. In many cases they would want to display different web pages or content depending on a MIME handler's availability. This document summarizes a reasonable technique to solve this problem for most of the browsers actually deployed on the Internet as of August 1999. It is intended to be of practical use to implementors during the period before the wide deployment of superior standards based techniques which may be developed. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-trade-mime-detector-02.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-trade-mime-detector-02.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-trade-mime-detector-02.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
