Add MIME to XML

[bjorn-henrik_zink]

Hi,

what would be the best way to add a MIME object to XML?

I am reading the MIME object with class CL_MIME_REPOSITORY_API. I am unsure how to get the XSTRING into a suitable XML format.

Thanks.

If MIME object is a binary, it's usually stored in base 64 (please search forum with this term), and if it's a text, it is usually stored as text in UTF-8 encoding but it may be UTF-16 for Asian or some rare languages. In fact, it depends on the DTD or XSD that defines your XML structure.

Hi Sandra,

thanks for your reply, it helped me solve the issue. Here is how I solved it for MIME images

1. Get XSTRING of MIME image

2. SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY

3. SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING

4. cl_http_utility=>if_http_utility~encode_base64

Well done. Thx for the feedback.

Hi again,

I just found function module SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR, which makes it even easier:

1) Get MIME XSTRING using class CL_MIME_REPOSITORY_API

2) Convert XSTRING with function module SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR
