You might not think of this, but "mailing a document to someone" is a kind of one-to-one 'push'. Multipart/related and MHTML were intended to solve some of the packaging issues, and the mechanisms for rewriting partial URLs, interacting with mail (and netnews, etc.) I think would be useful for "push".

Levinson Filename : draft-ietf-mhtml-rel-v2-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 09-Sep-97 The Multipart/Related content-type provides a common mechanism for representing objects that are aggregates of related MIME body parts. This document defines the Multipart/Related content-type and provides examples of its use. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mhtml-rel-v2-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ds.internic.net US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mhtml-rel-v2-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="mailserv@ds.internic.net" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19970909141244.I-D@ietf.org> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mhtml-rel-v2-00.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-ietf-mhtml-rel-v2-00.txt"; site="ds.internic.net"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19970909141244.I-D@ietf.org> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart-- Received: from alpha.xerox.com ([13.1.64.93]) by casablanca.parc.xerox.com with SMTP id <71813>; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 07:15:11 PDT Received: from SEGATE.SUNET.SE ([192.36.125.6]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <52812(3)>; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 07:15:09 PDT Received: from segate.sunet.se by SEGATE.SUNET.SE (LSMTP for OpenVMS v1.1a) with SMTP id <9.2A618C68@SEGATE.SUNET.SE>; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 16:15:06 +0100 Received: from SEGATE.SUNET.SE by SEGATE.SUNET.SE (LISTSERV release 1.8c) with NJE id 546236 for MHTML@SEGATE.SUNET.SE; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 16:15:04 +0200 Received: from ietf.org by SEGATE.SUNET.SE (LSMTP for OpenVMS v1.1a) with SMTP id <7.C2F0F85D@SEGATE.SUNET.SE>; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 16:05:03 +0100 Received: from ietf.ietf.org by ietf.org id aa07523; 10 Sep 97 9:59 EDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary="NextPart" To: IETF-Announce@ietf.org Cc: mhtml@segate.sunet.se From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Reply-to: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-mhtml-rev-01.txt Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 06:59:13 PDT Message-ID: <9709100959.aa07523@ietf.org> Sender: owner-mhtml@segate.sunet.se --NextPart A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML Documents Working Group of the IETF. Title : MIME E-mail Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML) Author(s) : A. Hopmann, J. Palme Filename : draft-ietf-mhtml-rev-01.txt Pages : 18 Date : 1997-09-09 Although HTML [RFC 1866] was designed within the context of MIME, more than the specification of HTML as defined in RFC 1866 is needed for two electronic mail user agents to be able to interoperate using HTML as a document format. These issues include the naming of objects that are normally referred to by URIs, and the means of aggregating objects that go together. This document describes a set of guidelines that will allow conforming mail user agents to be able to send, deliver and display these objects, such as HTML objects, that can contain links represented by URIs. In order to be able to handle inter-linked objects, the document uses the MIME type 'multipart/related' and specifies the MIME content-headers 'Content-Location' and 'Content-Base'. Differences compared to the previous version of this proposed standard, published in RFC 2110, are summarized in chapter 13. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.
