MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML
RFC 2557, “MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 1999 by J. Palme, A. Hopmann, N. Shelness. It obsoletes RFC 2110. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document a) defines the use of a MIME multipart/related structure to aggregate a text/html root resource and the subsidiary resources it references, and b) specifies a MIME content-header (Content-Location) that allow URIs in a multipart/related text/html root body part to reference subsidiary resources in other body parts of the same multipart/related structure. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
The canonical text of RFC 2557 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in TXT,HTML.
