I am working with a consumer whose application was developed in VB6.0 using Classic ASP. This application is calling a webservice to acquire attached documents, (Word, Excel, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, etc). First, I am looking to see if this type of application can consume a MTOM structured response with an attachment as a jpeg? If this is possible, would you please point me to documentation that allows this type of transaction to be processed successfully.
The first attempted was to read the entire raw response in an XML structure, it did not like it because it said that it was badly formed.
The second attempt was to read the raw response as a string. When looking at the response, there are many special characters that give errors "?".
The structure of an mtom response is as follows:
