Re: MS-DIME Validator released

The validator validates against the latest DIME spec:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nielsen-dime-02.txt

The source code is included in the download and it should be quite easy
to modify it to validate DIME messages over raw TCP as well. You just
need to remove the HTTP parser.

Thanks

Hm. which DIME specification does it test against-- the most recent? And
why only DIME in HTTP?

(My intended application for DIME needs it for delivering over a raw TCP
connection... :-) )
