Using a multipart message, you can send a main page and say an image and/or a CSS stylesheet, ... within the same HTTP response. This saves some round-trips between the client and the server and thus may be of some use in a high-latency environment. (It also de facto prevents the browser from fecthing resources in parallel which may not be such a good thing) The mobile browser is supposed to cache the different parts of the response. I'm not sure mobile browsers all support receiving/parsing multipart responses though. This could go in 5.5 Conservative use of network traffic. Or it may simply be another example of a way to minimize external script files (although not limited to *script* files) I found the idea (accidentally) there: http://developer.openwave.com/dvl/resources/code_corner/technical_notes/multipart.htm http://www.developershome.com/wap/xhtmlmp/xhtml_mp_tutorial.asp?page=images2 François.Received on Thursday, 20 March 2008 14:24:47 UTC
