Registered 2001 June 12 (last updated 2001 June 12) Applicant: Martin Knowles Subject: Application/vnd.irepository.package Name : Martin Knowles E-mail : mjk&irepository.net MIME media type name : Application MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.irepository.package+xml Required parameters : None Optional parameters : None Encoding considerations : Files of type application/vnd.irepository.package+xml are XML documents and as such have the same encoding considerations as application/xml, described in RFC 3023. Since the package may contain embedded base64, a base64 codec may be required to generate/interpret some parts of the package. Security considerations : When transmitted to a user's machine from the Lucidoc server, files of type application/vnd.irepository.package+xml contain textual document metadata only. No executable code is present within the package. Therefore, there are no known security issues with this MIME type. Packages are transmitted back to the Lucidoc server by means of a multipart HTTP POST request. If an HTTP proxy is in use, it must be configured to accept and forward multipart POSTs containing data of this MIME type in order for documents to be returned to the server successfully. Interoperability considerations : Packages are used for transporting documents between the Lucidoc server and the Lucidoc Editor, a commercial application which establishes connection to the Lucidoc server and retrieves document content. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the application/vnd.irepository.package+xml MIME type triggers execution of the Lucidoc Editor and that the connection is established. Published specification : application/vnd.irepository.package+xml is an XML document with a presently proprietary and evolving DTD.
