MIME Encoding Payloads

ebXML Module 7.1 SP1 | Understanding and Using webMethods EBXML Module | Installing and Using ebxml Module | ebXML Module Messaging Features | MIME Encoding Payloads

The ebXML Module supports MIME encoding for payloads. The ebXML Module supports all the character encodings defined in RFC 2045 such as "base64", "quoted-printable", "7bit", "8bit", and "binary". Also supports "uuencode" character encoding.

To configure MIME encoded payload support, set the appropriate TPA parameters.
