@title[#:tag "mime"]{MIME: Decoding Internet Data}
@defmodule[net/mime]{The @schememodname[net/mime] library provides
utilities for parsing and creating MIME encodings as described in RFC
2045 through RFC 2049.
The library was written by Francisco Solsona.}
@; ----------------------------------------
@section{Message Decoding}
@defproc[(mime-analyze [message-in (or/c bytes? input-port)]
[part? any/c])
message?]{
Parses @scheme[message-in] and returns the parsed result as a
@scheme[message] instance.}
@defstruct[message ([version real?]
[entity entity]
[fields (listof string?)])]{
A decoded MIME message. The version is @scheme[1.0] by default. The
@scheme[entity] field represents the message data. The @scheme[fields]
field contains one string for each field in the message header.}
@defstruct[entity ([type symbol?]
[subtype symbol?]
[charset symbol?]
[encoding symbol?]
[disposition disposition?]
[params (listof (cons/c symbol? string?))]
[id string?]
[description string?]
[other (listof string?)]
[fields (listof string?)]
[parts (listof message?)]
[body (output-port? . -> . void?)])]{
Represents the content of a message or a sub-part.
Standard values for the @scheme[type] field include @scheme['text],
@scheme['image], @scheme['audio], @scheme['video],
@scheme['application], @scheme['message], and @scheme['multipart].
Standard values for the @scheme[subtype] field depend on the
@scheme[type] field, and include the following:
@mime-table[
(
text (plain "[RFC1521, NSB]")
(richtext "[RFC1521, NSB]")
(tab-separated-values "[Lindner]")

)]
Standard values for the @scheme[charset] field include
@scheme['us-ascii], which is the default.
Standard values for the @scheme[encoding] field are @scheme['7bit],
@scheme['8bit], @scheme['binary], @scheme['quoted-printable], and
@scheme['base64]. The default is @scheme['7bit].
The @scheme[params] field contains a list of parameters from other
MIME headers.
The @scheme[id] field is taken from the @scheme["Content-Id"] header
field.
The @scheme[description] field is taken from the
@scheme["Content-description"] header field.
The @scheme[other] field contains additional (non-standard) field
headers whose field names start with @scheme["Content-"].
The @scheme[fields] field contains additional field headers whose
field names @emph{do not} start with @scheme["Content-"].
The @scheme[parts] contains sub-parts from multipart MIME
messages. This list is non-empty only when @scheme[type] is
@scheme['multipart] or @scheme['message].
The @scheme[body] field represents the body as a function that
consumes an output out and writes the decoded message to the port. No
bytes are written if @scheme[type] is @scheme['multipart] or
@scheme['message]. All of the standard values of @scheme[encoding]
are supported. The procedure only works once (since the encoded body
is pulled from a stream).}
@defstruct[disposition ([type symbol?]
[filename (or/c string? false/c)]
[creation (or/c string? false/c)]
[modification (or/c string? false/c)]
[read (or/c string? false/c)]
[size (or/c exact-nonnegative-integer? false/c)]
[params (listof (cons/c symbol? string?))])]{
Represents a @scheme["Content-Disposition"] header as defined in RFC
2183.
Standard values for the @scheme[type] field include @scheme['inline]
and @scheme['attachment].
The @scheme[filename] field is drawn from the @scheme["filename"]
parameter of the @scheme["Content-Disposition"] header, if included in
the message.
The @scheme[creation], @scheme[modification], and @scheme[read] fields
represent file timestamps as drawn from the @scheme["creation-date"],
@scheme["modification-date"], and @scheme["read-date"] attributes of
the @scheme["Content-Disposition"] header, if included in the message.
The @scheme[size] field is drawn from the @scheme["size"] parameter of
the @scheme["Content-Disposition"] header, if included in the message.
The @scheme[params] field stores any additional attribute bindings of
the @scheme["Content-Disposition"] header, if included in the message.}
@; ----------------------------------------
@section[#:tag "mime-exns"]{Exceptions}
@defstruct[mime-error ()]{
The supertype of all MIME exceptions.}
@defstruct[(unexpected-termination mime-error) ([msg string?])]{
Raised when an end-of-file is reached while parsing the headers of a
MIME entity. It usually means that the message does not conform
to RFC 2045 and friends.}
@defstruct[(missing-multipart-boundary-parameter mime-error) ()]{
Raised when a multipart type is specified, but no @scheme["Boundary"]
parameter is given or an end-of-file is encountered before the
boundary.}
@defstruct[(malformed-multipart-entity mime-error) ([msg string?])]{
Similar to @scheme[unexpected-termination], but used only while
scanning parts of a multipart message.}
@defstruct[(empty-mechanism mime-error) ()]{
Raised when no transport encoding mechanism was provided with the
@scheme["Content-Transfer-Encoding"] field.}
@defstruct[(empty-type mime-error) ()]{
Raised when no type is specified for @scheme["Content-Type"], or when
the specification is incorrectly formatted.}
@defstruct[(empty-subtype mime-error) ()]{
Raised when no sub-type is specified for @scheme["Content-Type"], or
when the specification is incorrectly formatted.}
@defstruct[(empty-disposition-type mime-error) ()]{
Raised when type specified for the @scheme["Content-Disposition"]
field, or when the specification is incorrectly formatted.}
@; ----------------------------------------
@section{MIME Unit}
@defmodule[net/mime-unit]
@defthing[mime@ unit?]{
Imports nothing, exports @scheme[mime^].}
@; ----------------------------------------
@section{MIME Signature}
@defmodule[net/mime-sig]
@defsignature[mime^ ()]{}
Includes everything exported by the @schememodname[net/mime] module.
