I'm building a dynamic document, and I have three things in my server
plug-in. I have composed a text message with things like inventory count,
and have two pictures of the merchadise in GIF format. I cannot let the
parts flow separately and need to bundle them all in one response (ie,
persistent connections don't help). I could have them in either binary or
BASE64 format.
I've tried to use a multipart MIME response, but Netscape just overlays the
3 segments and InternetExplorer just doesn't recognize anything beyond
HTML.
I've looked at both EMBED and OBJECT, but don't see the content as 'inline'
with anything that specifies Content-Encoding or it's equivalent in any
examples. Got a sample? Also, do we know what the base levels of the
browsers are that support these? Thanks. Paul
