I am working with Amazons (WASP, I believe) server to download MIME

attachments. The problem is WASP doesn't send the optional 'start'

attribute in the Content-Type header. This causes SOAP::Lite to die.

Obviously I could handle the fault so it wouldnt die, but I still

would not be able to parse the MIME.



I guess I could override the method and do my own MIME parsing (bluhk,

  I'd rather not...)



Anyone have any suggestions?

I assume you are using SOAP::Lite 0.66.1.



I would also contact Amazon - as the W3C SOAP with Attachment

specification strongly recommends that the start parameter be present.



http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments

It is strongly recommended that the root part contain a |Content-ID|

MIME header structured in accordance with RFC 2045

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-attachments-20001211#MIME1>, and

that in addition to the required parameters for the |Multipart/Related|

media type, the start parameter (optional in RFC 2387

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-attachments-20001211#MultipartRelated>)

always be present. This permits more robust error detection.



But since technically it is not required, let me take a look.

Weird - it should behave correctly with 0.66+. Here is the code from the

Packager:



   die "Multipart MIME messages MUST declare Multipart/Related content-type"

     if ($entity->head->mime_attr('content-type') !~ /^multipart\/related/i);

   my $start =

get_multipart_id($entity->head->mime_attr('content-type.start'))

     || get_multipart_id($entity->parts(0)->head->mime_attr('content-id'));

   my $location = $entity->head->mime_attr('content-location') ||

     'thismessage:/';



As you can see - it first looks for the start parameter and if it cannot

be found it simply grabs the content id of the root part... do you have

code I can use to reproduce the problem?
