Dmitry,
Generally, I did not consider filenames of EDI/XML payloads to be
significant in themselves. The information in the EDI interchanges is not
treated differently because of the filename. What would be the benefit of
your trading partner knowing the filename?

Subject: Filename in AS2 messages
I'd like to clarify how the filenames are expected to be communicated in
AS2. Since AS2 data is represented by MIME body, the implication is that
Content-Disposition header can be used for that purpose.
Is this a correct assumption?
If so, it would be great if AS2 spec made an explicit reference to RFC-2183
(update of rfc1806) "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet
Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field" with respect to AS2
filename. I've noticed that the header is included in the samples that
accompany the specification but making it explicit would improve
interoperability.
Also, as a practical question, do current AS2 implementation include
Content-Disposition header with filename parameter when sending and look
for it when receiving as far as people know?
Thank you.
