MIME文档和集合文档的解码算法

Decoding Algorithm for MIME Documents and Aggregate Documents

MIME(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)主要用于电子邮件传输非文本数据。它兼容旧版本的信息格式,使得那些旧的应用网关也可以处理MIME格式的信息,并增加了许多功能,可以用邮件传输二进制数据。集合文档是MIME格式的一种应用,用于将根资源和附属资源集合进同一个信息里。文章首先介绍了MIME格式和集合文档的格式,给出了一个对MIME格式文档的解码算法,然后在这个算法的基础上给出了集合文档的解码算法。

MIME（Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions） is mainly used to transfer non-text data for e-mail.It is compatible with the old version of message format,which make those old application gateways can also process the information in MIME format,and adds many functions and can transmit binary data in e-mail.Aggregate document is an application of MIME format,which is used to gather root resource and subsidiary resources to the same message.Firstly this paper describes the formats of MIME and aggregate documents,and proposes a decoding algorithm for MIME format documents.Then on the basis of the algorithm,a decoding algorithm for aggregate documents is given.
