How to Access Parts of a multipart/related HTTP Response

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to access the parts of a multipart/related response. This example sends a ficticious multipart/related request, and handles a ficticious multipart/related response.

We send the following multipart/related request:

Content-Type: multipart/related; start-info="text/xml"; type="application/xop+xml"; boundary="----=_Part_0_1744155.1118953559416"
Content-Length: 3453
SOAPAction: "some-SOAP-action"

------=_Part_1_4558657.1118953559446
Content-Type: application/xop+xml; type="text/xml"; charset=utf-8

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <Detail xmlns="http://example.org/mtom/data">
      <image>

      </image>
    </Detail>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

------=_Part_1_4558657.1118953559446
