Pop Quiz, given a HTTP/MIME request like this one here, how do you ensure that the Mime boundary string isn't used in the attachment payload, without buffering the whole thing in memory first ?

POST /axis/servlet/AxisServlet HTTP/1.0
Content-Type: Multipart/Related; 
 boundary="MIMEBoundary012345"; 
 type="text/xml";

Started looking at SwA again. The sending part is pretty straightforward [if not massively efficient without a HTTP stack with chunked transfer encoding support]. I can package up random binary attachments and have the Axis EchoAttachment sample send it back. Just the *ahem* minor task of parsing the response left todo. BTW, anyone know of a good portable C++ based MIME parser ?
