RFC 2158: X   Network Working Group H. Alvestrand Request for Comments: 2158 UNINETT Category: Standards Track January 1998 X.400 Image Body Parts Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1998). All Rights Reserved. 1. Introduction This document contains the body parts defined in RFC 1495 for carrying image formats that were originally defined in MIME through an X.400 system. It also documents the OIDs assigned to these data formats as FTAM body parts, which allow the MIME types to be converted to FTAM body parts; this will probably be more useful than the new body parts defined here. 2. Newly defined X.400 body parts 2.1. The JPEG body part The following Extended Body Part is defined for JPEG data streams. It has no parameters. jpeg-body-part EXTENDED-BODY-PART-TYPE DATA OCTET STRING ::= mime-jpeg-body mime-jpeg-body OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 3 } The content is as defined in [MIME]. Alvestrand Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 2158 X.400 Image Body Parts January 1998 2.2. The GIF body part The following Extended Body Part is defined for GIF data streams. It has no parameters. gif-body-part EXTENDED-BODY-PART-TYPE DATA OCTET STRING ::= mime-gif-body mime-gif-body OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 4 } The content is as defined in [MIME]. 3. Defined equivalences with MIME types 3.1. image/jpeg - jpeg-body-part X.400 Body Part: Extended Body Part, OID jpeg-body-part MIME Content-Type: image/jpeg Conversion: None 3.2. image/jpeg - FTAM EMA JPEG X.400 Body Part: FTAM EMA JPEG MIME Content-Type: image/jpeg Conversion: None The OID assigned to JPEG by EMA in [MAWG] is { ema objects(2) messaging (2) attachments(1) jpeg-image(6) } while EMA's OID is { joint-iso-ccitt(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1) ema(113694) } making the total OID, numeric only { 2 16 840 1 113694 2 2 1 6 } 3.3. image/gif - gif-body-part X.400 Body Part: Extended Body Part, OID gif-body-part MIME Content-Type: image/gif Conversion: None Alvestrand Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2158 X.400 Image Body Parts January 1998 3.4. image/gif - FTAM EMA GIF X.400 Body Part: FTAM EMA GIF MIME Content-Type: image/jpeg Conversion: None The OID assigned to JPEG by EMA in [MAWG] is { ema objects(2) messaging (2) attachments(1) gif-image(4) } 4.
